Mimah said that already we describe the campaign team of some of our findings and we hope that in the second week made an evaluation.
Bawaslu first findings related to campaign activities cagub or cawagub not informed or without permission Bawaslu DKI. In fact, all campaign activities should be notified to the police, Jakarta KPU and Bawaslu Jakarta later than one day prior to the implementation of the campaign.
In addition, the Jakarta Election Supervisory Body also found that the allegations of money politics by distributing campaign material that is not in accordance with Commission Regulation No. 12 Year 2016 concerning the election campaign.
He says baseball should essentially share it if I am not there in PKPU. Later, other findings relating to the alleged campaign in places of worship. The place of worship is one of the places that are prohibited to campaign. Therefore, Jakarta Election Supervisory Body request that was not repeated in the second week of the campaign and beyond. Besides appealed candidate, Bawaslu Administration also requested religious organizations to control.
Mimah say that it appealed to them (religious organizations) as well as to encourage the congregation not to be a campaign in mosques. Those who had a role in it, in the mosque, temple, church.
Furthermore, the findings provocative banners. Mimah said Bawaslu Jakarta has teamed up with the city government, municipal police, and the police to remove the banners such provocative.
In fact, both teams Mimah call campaign candidate pair also want to get involved in the removal of provocative banner. Both sides agreed their campaign teams also wanted to have a role with how they too can lower it, yes baseball problem.
Other findings of alleged infringement that their mounting campaign props (APK). Jakarta Election Supervisory Body APK prohibits the installation at any location during the second round of the election campaign in 2017 because of Jakarta APK installation dispensed during the second round campaign.
Mimah said the already stressed that any private space should not exist, the offices also volunteers there should not be, because there are no props Commission said. According Mimah, there volunteers who want to take them off immediately, some are reluctant to take off and even arguing with the supervisor of elections. The reason, understanding timses or volunteers associated APK that no detailed provisions governing the APK. In fact, in PKPU stated clearly that the APK that included billboards, banners, and banners.
Bawaslu Jakarta finds many banners were installed. Bawaslu and his staff had asked the campaign team and volunteers to remove themselves APK is still installed.
However, if the appeal persuasive they are not followed up by a campaign team or volunteer, Bawaslu will provide recommendations to the Commission to act on it.
Mimah also said that later if it is not honored, so we recommend to the Commission so that the Commission were admonished. Doing prevention own, yes now live action.
Elimination install APK APK done because the KPU does not comply with the campaign concept sharpening vision and mission during the second round of the election campaign in 2017. In addition APK Jakarta, Jakarta KPU also negate the general meeting of campaign methods which involve at least 2,000 mass, and many are one-way.
Election organizers not risking democracy by siding with one candidate. Similarly, the law enforcement officers. The figures in the party should also be able to build a cool atmosphere. We may be different but we have to meet for the interests of the nation. Do not let the differences break defense. Hopefully the campaign period in this second round of Jakarta Gubernatorial Election may create a situation conducive and peaceful future. So the results are not cause divisions. All hope leaders Jakarta later can change for the better. Moreover, Jakarta needs bold leadership not just imaging.
