Comment

There is no specific restriction regarding political parties taking loans in relation to election campaigns. However, Law on Political Parties defines funds earned from debts and loans as a source of income. In other words, political parties can take loans during or out of election campaigns. 

"The followings shall be regarded as income of a political party:  [...]
funds earned from debts and loans;[...]"
