JAKARTA - Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB) Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin agrees that the 2024 election campaign period is only 75 days.

This was conveyed in response to the results of the General Election Commission's (KPU) consignment meeting with the Indonesian House of Representatives. At that time, even with a note, it was agreed that the campaign period would be cut from 90 days during the 2019 election to 75 days in the 2024 election.

"Yes, it's good, don't take too long," said Cak Imin to reporters quoted on Thursday, May 18.

This short duration, continued Cak Imin, is considered to be able to prevent the practice of money politics. As for this practice, he is said to be destroying competition and political purity.

"If it takes too long, money politics will become more widespread. Then it's not clear which campaign day is outside the campaign," he said.

"But with a certain time limit, it will clarify democracy, clarity of control, clarity of activities," added Cak Imin.

As previously reported, the General Elections Commission (KPU) Commissioner Mochammad Afifuddin said the 2024 General Election (Election) stage would begin on June 14, 2022. The steps towards the five-year democratic party will be implemented immediately.

Afifuddin said some members of the DPR and the government proposed a 90-day campaign period. However, this has an impact or has the potential to sacrifice time for handling disputes at Bawaslu and at the State Administrative Court (PTUN).

For this reason, then a new option appears, which is 75 days. The KPU will emphasize on two aspects, namely that the government must help with many things, including the Presidential Regulation (Perpres) on Procurement of Logistics, Shipping, and so on.

Second, regarding the electoral justice or people who submit objections/disputes the election has a long enough time. However, all of these things are still being simulated by the KPU in order to find the best possibility.

Furthermore, Afifuddin said that in early August 2022 the registration of political parties had begun. This step is one of the important milestones regarding the excitement of the election. Next, on December 14, 2022, the determination of the political parties participating in the 2024 General Election.
