24H Islamic News - The government together with related institutions held a special coordination meeting (rakorsus) Pilkada 2018. Some of the things discussed, among others related to the KPK plan to assign suspects of regional heads who are involved in corruption.

"If it has been determined as a candidate pairs to face the elections simultaneously, we from the deliberator ask for postponed, yes, delayed the investigation, investigation and submission of him as a witness or suspect," said Winarto at Kemenko Polhukam Office, Jakarta, Monday (12/3 / 2018). According to the government, the determination of candidate pairs of regional heads as suspects will actually affect the implementation of elections. It can also be assessed into the political sphere.

Wiranto said, the pair of candidates who have registered regional head is no longer just a private, but already belongs to the party and the community as a supporter.

Therefore, the determination of a candidate for a regional head candidate by the KPK is considered to have an effect on the execution of his nomination as representative of paprol or representing the voters.

Wiranto said that the request also came from election observers, namely the General Election Commission (KPU) and the Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu).

"It is no exaggeration if the request from the election organizer is postponed and then continue," Wiranto said.

However, when asked further until when the suspect's suspension is pending, Wiranto said, it was not discussed in detail in the rally.

Rakorsus Pilkada was attended by Minister of Home Affairs Tjahjo Kumolo, National Police Chief (Pol) Tito Karnavian, TNI Commander Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto, KPU Chairman Arief Budiman, and Chairman Bawaslu Abhan.

KPK chairman Agus Rahardjo earlier said it would announce the 2018 election of a suspected corruption allegation.
