SEMARANG-Bawaslu Central Java asked to be aware of the political potential of money during the 2024 election vote in 10 villages in Demak Regency which were delayed due to flooding. "During the follow-up election, what must be watched out for is the possibility of the emergence of money politics," said Central Java Bawaslu Commissioner Sosiawan in Semarang, Saturday, February 17. He explained that the area carrying out the follow-up vote would be the target of legislators who may lack votes. "The location that held the follow-up vote was one of the potential to increase votes," he said. He ensured that Bawaslu would carry out surveillance so that fraud during subsequent elections did not occur. Previously, floods hit the Demak and Kudus areas due to the broken Wulan and Jratun River embankments.
