JAKARTA - Chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN) Zulkifli Hasan assesses the implementation of the campaign during the general election (election) should be shortened. According to him, five months for the implementation of the contestation stage is too long.
"The campaign should not take too long. Why should the campaign take up to five months, just two weeks," Zulhas told reporters at the ACLC KPK building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Wednesday, May 25.
Two weeks, he continued, was actually enough for a campaign to promote election participants.
Zulhas also asked the government to pay all campaign costs. Including, for advertising.
"But it's financed by the government, the TV is advertised, that's right," he said.
It didn't stop there, Zulkifli also said that the government should pay the witness fees. Thus, political parties do not need to spend deep money.
"It is the witness who incriminates the political party. Well, we thank you, in fact, it was proposed by the KPK first, the witness was financed by the state," said the Deputy Chair of the MPR.
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).
