Till January, Jokowi-Ma'ruf Campaign Funds Reach Rp55 bn

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The treasurer of the Jokowi-Ma’ruf National Campaign Team, Sakti Wahyu Trenggono, said the camp’s Revenue Report of Campaign Funds Donation (LPSDK) until January 2, 2019, totaled Rp55.9 billion. The details are Rp11 billion for the initial report of campaign funds (LADK) and Rp44 billion for LPSDK. 

“The funds came from the candidates, individuals, political parties and non-governmental groups and business entities,” he said at the General Election Commission (KPU) office in Jakarta on Wednesday, January 2, 2019. 

The amount of funds sourcing from the candidates amounted to Rp32 billion. 

Trenggono said the Rp32 billion actually did not come from the candidates, but rather the interest on the initial funds. “Then the accounting classifies them as belonging to the candidates. Officially, the candidates have not donated yet. I think they will do it later,” he said.
