Presidential candidate number 3, Ganjar Pranowo, stated that terrorism incidents were relatively nonexistent throughout 2023.

He made this statement during the third 2024 Presidential and Vice-Presidential Debate series, themed "Defense, Security, International Relations, and Geopolitics," held at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, on Sunday (7/1/2024).

"I appreciate that, in the context of terrorism, 2023 was relatively calm. We give credit to the police," Ganjar said during the response session.

Ganjar's statement aligns with information from the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT).

Head of the Indonesian BNPT, Police Commissioner General Mohammed Rycko Amelza Dahniel, expressed gratitude that no violent terrorist attacks by terrorist networks occurred throughout 2023, in contrast to previous years.

"This condition indicates that Indonesia's security situation is improving," Rycko stated at the BNPT office in Sentul on Friday, December 29, 2023, as quoted from its official website.

In line with this, Rycko mentioned that 148 terrorism suspects were arrested throughout 2023.

"148 terrorists were arrested throughout 2023, dominated by the Jamaah Islamiyah (JI) and Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) groups," Rycko said in Sentul, Bogor, on Friday, December 29, 2023, as quoted by Detik.com.

Previously, Databoks reported from the official Polri website that there were 6 terrorist incidents in 2021, with 370 terrorism suspects identified.

Then, in 2022, the number of terrorist acts in Indonesia decreased to one case. Similarly, the number of terrorism suspects decreased to 248.
