JAKARTA, KOMPAS – The 2018 simultaneous regional elections are being contested by candidates for regional head positions and those who wish to prepare themselves for the bigger fight of the 2019 general elections. The tight competition has urged a number of candidates to seek funding that is sometimes sourced from corruption.

Several of the 1,160 regional head candidates registered to contest in 171 regional elections have been arrested by Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
