The exposure of a number of regional election candidates and current leaders to Covid-19 has somewhat marred this year’s celebration of democracy in various parts of the country.
In South Sulawesi, Barru regency candidate Malkan Amin died from Covid-19 on voting day on Wednesday (Dec 9), leaving behind his running mate Andi Salahuddin Rum.
Malkan was a veteran politician in South Sulawesi. He was a member of the People’s Consultative Assembly twice and of the House of Representatives once.
He was admitted to Bhayangkara Hospital in Makassar on Monday, but his infection worsened. He then underwent treatment for less than a day at Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital in Makassar.
