Currently, Afif added, the socialization rules and the 2024 election campaign which will be outlined in the KPU (PKPU) regulations are still in the discussion stage.
In addition to the Press Council, he said the KPU would also coordinate and cooperate with other related parties, such as the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI).
"For socialization or related campaigns or broadcasting media, we must cooperate with KPI," said Afif.

On the same occasion, Afif said that in the election stage, namely socialization and campaigns carried out by election participants, the KPU is the party in charge of drafting the rules. Meanwhile, he continued, the parties who played a role in the prosecution of reports of alleged fraud at that stage, including Bawaslu, KPI, and the Press Council. "We become an institution that prepares the rules. So when it comes to violations, this is the domain played by Bawaslu, KPI, and the Press Council.
