SEMARANG, KOMPAS – The solidarity of the Indonesian Military (TNI) and the National Police is necessary ahead of the 2018 simultaneous regional election and the 2019 general elections. In order to maintain this solidarity, the military and police leadership must be able to maintain their distance from formal and informal political powers.

President Joko Widodo said he was not concerned about the increasing political tension ahead of the 2018 and 2019 elections, so long as the military and the police remained united. “There is one key, and one key only. As long as the public, the election candidates and their supporters see that the military and the police are solid, there will be no problems [political commotion]. That is the key,” said the President at the Assembly of Regional Police Chiefs at the Indonesian Police Academy in Semarang, Central Java, on Monday (9/10/2017).
