Regarding The Active Minister For Participants In The 2024 Presidential Election, Jokowi: Follow The KPU Mechanism

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo handed over provisions for active ministers who participated in the 2024 presidential election in accordance with the mechanisms set by the General Elections Commission or KPU.

This was conveyed by Jokowi when answering reporters' questions during a visit to Bulog's warehouse in the Dramaga area, Bogor, West Java, Monday, September 11.

One of them is related to the release of ministerial positions if later running as a presidential candidate or vice presidential candidate.

"What kind of rules? If the rules are allowed, don't back down, it's okay," said Jokowi, confiscated by Antara.

Jokowi said the most important thing that needs to be obeyed from this situation is the prohibition of using state facilities for political purposes.

"The most important thing is not to use state facilities. Second, if the campaign is on leave, the rules are clear," he said.

Jokowi is not worried that the dispensation policy for leave for every minister who runs in the 2024 presidential election contestation can interfere with the running of the government wheels.

"Our bureaucratic system is well established," he said.

President Jokowi also approved his ministers to appear in the 2024 General Election. "Yes, it is allowed. That was the case in the past," he said.
