Kombes Jansen said that the removal of billboards was carried out by the Bali Satpol PP, the authorities.

"However, the billboards sent are not only owned by certain parties, such as videos that appear viral on social media," Jansen said in a written statement, Tuesday, October 31.

Jansen emphasized that the Bali Provincial Satpol PP, according to its main duties, one of which has the authority to control campaign props.

"Once again we explain, the billboards that were sent were not only certain billboards, but all of them were taken down to be cleaned and disciplined, especially along Jalan Denpasar, (Regency) Badung to (Regency) Gianyar which was the working visit of the President of the Republic of Indonesia while in Bali," he added.

The control of billboards, continued Jansen, was carried out because the election was still entering the registration stage for prospective candidates. Billiho is said to be a campaign prop, including the matter of ensuring regional order.

As previously reported, the Head of the Bali Province Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP), Nyoman Rai Dharmadi, explained that the revocation of the PDIP and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD flags was in accordance with orders from the Acting Governor of Bali Sang Made Mahendra Jaya.

Dharmadi said that the lifting of the political party's flag was indeed carried out at three Working Visits (Kunker) or President Jokowi's activities in Gianyar Regency as well as in the Denpasar City area, Bali.

"In accordance with the orders of the Acting Governor. To be sure, I was asked to revoke the attributes of political parties at the event location," said Dharmadi, Tuesday, October 31.

Not only the flags of the PDIP Party and the billboards of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates Ganjar Pranowo and Mahfud MD were revoked, but other billboards from political parties were also revoked.

Such as the billboards of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) which featured the face of PSI Chairman Kaesang Pangarep and also PSI billboards which also contained pictures of President Jokowi.

"Don't think it's the PDI flag, Ganjar-Mahfud MD, it has nothing to do with it, it has nothing to do with it. (Revocation) is to build a neutral atmosphere, that's actually. That, maybe in my opinion, is because it's also true so as not to seem on the side of one (candidate)," he said.

"Including several points in Renon (Denpasar City), in Bendega there is a (photo) Kaesang, we will also revoke it. Including billboards with pictures of Mr. Jokowi who is on PSI billboards, we revoke it, it doesn't matter. That's the order, we do it according to what was conveyed to us," he said.
