The Democratic Party was absent without explanation from a meeting to declare a commitment to peaceful elections in Jayapura regency, Papua, according to the Jayapura regency General Elections Commission (KPUD).
Jayapura regency KPUD chief Hanock Mariai said 11 other parties attended the meeting held Saturday at the Gunung Merah field in Sentani, the seat of Jayapura regency.
“We have not received any explanation as to why the Democratic Party did not attend the signing of the declaration, although it was very important,” Hanock was quoted as saying by Antara news agency on Monday.
Delegations from political parties signed a placard agreeing to accept the results of the election and not break the law if they lost.
“In every competition, there must be winner and also losers,” Hanock said.
He called on all political parties to support the winner of the 2014 polls for the sake of development over the next five years.
