Elections and regional elections according to him should be able to make all the people happy, not cause noise and chaos.

We would be born a leader acceptable to the majority of society," said Muhammad while opening the Coordination Meeting of Stakeholders in the Context of Education for Participatory Monitoring Election of Governor and Deputy Governor, Regent and Deputy Regent and Mayor and Deputy Mayor, in Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan, on Monday (8/6).

Elections, he added, should not serve as the event that triggered the emotions and divisions among certain groups. Election also is not to reinforce the dualism in society.

"Elections do not make people shocked, do not make people stressed, do not make people dealing with duality," he said.

Elections, Muhammad continued, must be understood as a process. Not as a destination. The elections were a harmonization process to build community after election results set.

If the election as a phase of the process already occurred the conflict, according to the purpose of the election certainly will not be achieved. Societal expectations of the elected leader of the election will not be realized.
