MEDAN - Governor of North Sumatra (Sumut) Edy Rahmayadi hopes that regional head candidates will not hold a music concert during the 2020 simultaneous regional election campaign. Edy asked for the campaign to be changed online.
"I make sure I support the KPU and there are no concerts. In this COVID-19 condition, just use Zoom in the campaign, or just use prayer to ask God to let him win, ”Governor Edy told reporters, Thursday, September 17.
The election campaign with a music concert was also rejected by the Ministry of Home Affairs. The Director of Domestic Politics at the Directorate General of Politics and General Government of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Bahtiar stated that his party refused the KPU to still allow music concert campaign activities in the 2020 PIlkada.
"We reject all forms of music concerts. All over the world, music concerts are being closed. So, it is strange that we still allow it," said Bahtiar in a webinar discussion, Thursday, September 17.
According to Bahtiar, a music concert-type candidate for regional head campaigns could create crowds, potentially increasing the spread of COVID-19.
That means, music concert campaign activities are not in line with the government's efforts to reduce the spread of the corona virus in Indonesia.
"A music concert is an activity that is very specific, usually a music concert is not determined by the number of people who attend. If the singer has an appeal, then people have fanatics about certain musical genres, yes, there will be a crowd," explained Bahtiar.
