The Head of Undiksha’s Academic and Student Affairs Bureau, Drs. I Made Yasa, M.Pd, who was present representing the Undiksha’s Rector, welcomed the implementation of this public test. He hopes that the General Election (Pemira) this time can run peacefully, smoothly, and without obstacles. He also reminded that in every election process, differences of opinion are natural, but must still be overcome together.
Furthermore, he emphasized three important things in choosing prospective student leaders. First, competence and morality are absolute requirements that must be possessed by a prospective leader. Morality and morals must always be maintained in every interaction. Second, intellect is essential, with the ability to think ahead and adapt to changing situations. Third, increased humanity, which requires a leader to provide benefits and goodness for all those around him.
The Chairperson of REMA Undiksha Student Election Commission (KPM), Putu Ayu Budiasih said that the candidates will also take part in an open debate on March 25, 2025.
