Day: February 1, 2024

The 2024 General Election (Pemilu) will take place on Feb. 14, 2024. A total of 24 political parties will compete, there are 18 national political parties and six local political parties in Aceh. Each party, as we know, also takes part in three coalitions that nominate three presidential and vice presidential candidates. Of the dozens of parties, there are a number of political parties whose cadres or members have been caught in corruption cases. Some even still have the guts to run for office again. Which party has so far “contributed” the most to the problem?

Back in August 2023, the Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) asked the General Elections Commission (KPU) to immediately announce the names of candidates for legislative members at all levels who are former convicts, especially graft convicts. ICW claimed that KPU seemed to cover this up because it never made an announcement as promised. KPU made the much-needed announcement several days later. Entering 2024, The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) announced their new investigation and conducted two sting operations. Among the parties ensnared are representatives of a political party. This makes us wonder, which parties have corrupt politicians?
