Puan again emphasized that all candidates for head and deputy regional heads who contest the 2020 Pilkada must be more creative and innovative in conveying their vision and mission during the campaign period during the Covid-19 pandemic. He encouraged the delivery of the vision and mission to be done virtually and not hold activities that invite crowds.

In accordance with PKPU provisions No.13 of 2020, face-to-face campaigns for limited meetings, open meetings, and dialogue must comply with the Covid-19 preventive health protocol and limit the number of participants to a maximum of 50 people.
If someone violates, said Puan, then law enforcement must be carried out according to the applicable rules. “The sanctions have been regulated through the latest PKPU. Discipline in the regional elections is very important for the success of the 2020 Pilkada, “said the legislator for the Central Java electoral district.
