Jokowi and the 2024 regional election campaign, ethical or not, it is the right of the people

 


JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – After retiring from office, the seventh President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo (Jokowi), is not prohibited from campaigning for certain pairs of candidates in the 2024 regional elections (Pilkada).

“So in my opinion, once his position ends, the ban no longer applies,” said the chairman of the Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu) Rahmat Bagja met by the media team at the Indonesian Bawaslu Building, Central Jakarta, Tuesday (10/29/2024).

He added that Jokowi and previous presidents were allowed to openly support pairs of candidates.

Bagja gave the example of Indonesia's fifth president Megawati Soekarnoputri and sixth president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) being involved in the campaign.

“After all, Mr SBY also campaigned and Ms Mega is the general chairperson of a political party, so the ban no longer applies,” he said.

According to Bagja, the ethical judgment regarding Jokowi's involvement in the campaign is entirely the right of the community.

“We don't worry about ethics, later the public will judge whether it is ethical or not,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Central Java General Election Commission (KPU) Commissioner Akmaliyah also emphasized that Jokowi was not prohibited from becoming an activist due to his status as a former civil servant.

Jokowi's name also does not need to be reported to the KPU. Because the registered party is the campaign team.

“The legislation does not prohibit it,” said Akmaliyah, when asked about the involvement of former presidents in the campaign, Monday (10/28/2024).

After his term ended on October 20, Jokowi met with Solo Number 2 mayoral candidate Respati Ardi, accompanied by his deputy candidate Astrid Widayani.

During the meeting, Respati invited Jokowi to participate in campaigning for him in the 2024 simultaneous regional elections.

“Invitation to the countryside, invitation to kindness to greet the community. But he wants to rest, I respect him,” Respati said in the Manahan district of Solo, Tuesday (10/29/2024).

Titi Anggraini, professor of electoral law at the University of Indonesia (UI) Faculty of Law, stressed that although Jokowi is not banned from campaigning, he must be careful so that his involvement is not used improperly, particularly with regard to the position of his son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, as vice-president.

“Even if it is not prohibited, Jokowi's involvement must be anticipated, especially with his son as vice president. “This has the potential to open opportunities for violations or abuses,” Titi told Kompas.com, after the Magelang Regency Pilkada debate, at the Grand Artos Hotel & Convention, Monday (10/28/2024).

He stressed the importance of Bawaslu and media supervision in the implementation of the 2024 simultaneous regional elections.

“Remain critical and control 2024 regional elections“, Titi said.
