Meanwhile, Benny Kabur Harman-Benny Alexander Litelnoni’s winning strategy is to visit villages, especially in remote areas. In fact, during each campaign, the couple handed out the farmers’ welfare cards to the peasants.
Despite having a different strategy, but all candidates have the same winning chance. All candidates are free to convey their vision and mission as long as it is in accordance with the applicable regulations and not harming other candidates. Basically, the election of the Governor and Deputy Governor of East Nusa Tenggara can run peacefully although every candidate has a support base based on tribe and religion. This is because the peaceful election of the head of the region is desirable to all parties and no one who expects the election of regional heads ends up rioting, except for certain persons.
