JAKARTA - Democratic Party Chairperson Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) asked his party's regional head candidates to offer solutions to face the COVID-19 pandemic, during the 2020 Regional Head Election (Pilkada) campaign. Regional head candidates were also asked to compete sportsmanship.

"I hope the campaign material will explain the best solution to face the pandemic and economic crisis in the region," said AHY when delivering his speech to commemorate the 19th Anniversary of the Democratic Party which was broadcast on a television station, Friday, September 25.

According to him, the idea of the candidates for the head to deal with the impact of the pandemic and the economy must continue to be fought for in a good way.

"In order for the candidates to be successful and to win the hearts, minds and voices of the people, compete in a sporting and ethical manner. Achieve the victory without having to tear the national foundation," he said.

In addition, AHY also reminded the candidates for regional heads to continue to run campaigns by implementing strict and disciplined health protocols. He understands that the campaign during this pandemic will have difficulties.

"But on the one hand, regional head candidates must greet the people by keeping their distance," he said.

"Do not let the regional elections create new COVID-19 clusters in various regions," he added.

The eldest son of the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia reminded the candidates for regional heads who were promoted to work with trustworthiness, effectively and to present concrete things to the community if they were selected in the Pilkada.

"Don't sell out promises but prove it with real work and results. Democrats must form a coalition with the people, absorb and listen to people's voices because the people's hope is the struggle of the Democrats," he said.
