Bawaslu Asks KPU To Remind Political Parties/Caleg Of Installation Of Goods APK That Can Hurt You

Chairman of the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) Rahmat Bagja asked the General Elections Commission (KPU) to remind all participants of the 2024 General Election to install campaign props (APK) that are dangerous to cause accidents and result in casualties.

"Today we will order Bawaslu friends from all regencies, cities and provinces to pay attention to the installation of props, cooperate, coordinate with Satpol PP, because this is dangerous, there are already victims," said Bagja at the Bawaslu office, Jakarta, as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, January 18.

Therefore, he asked that the incident needs to be a common concern.

"We will also remind the KPU to remind election participants in terms of the installation of the APK," said Bagja.

According to him, enforcement will be carried out by lowering campaign tools that are not in accordance with the rules. Bagja also gave an example of the APK that has been lowered is the APK on the power pole either during the socialization or campaign period.

Bawaslu asked all participants of the 2024 General Election to remind the installers of their campaign tools carefully. Because, he believes it is not the legislative candidates who installed their own APK.

"Tim yang harus diperingatkan pada caleg, pasti, ini teman-teman juga banyak dicemberutin, banyak diprotes saat penurunan alat propa, tetapi itu konsekuensinya," jelasnya.

The control will be carried out in the near future. Bagja emphasized that accountability in the event of an accident due to the APK, could be publicly punished.
