Persebaya Surabaya Asks For The Logo And Club Name Not To Be Brought To The 2020 Regional Elections

JAKARTA - The city of Surabaya will hold regional head elections (Pilkada) 2020 in December. There are two candidates who will advance to compete for the Surabaya 1 seat, namely Eri Cahyadi-Armuji and Machfud Arifin-Mujiaman.

They do everything they can to attract support. Including getting support from bonek, Persebaya Surabaya supporters, who are known to be militants and are large in number.

However, recently a polemic has emerged. The act of one of the couples posting a picture of Persebaya on Instastory. This is long tail.

Persebaya management asked that the post be removed immediately. The reason is, the club management nicknamed Bajul Ijo does not feel that he has ever given permission for regional head candidates to post pictures of Persebaya.

In his official statement, Persebaya Surabaya asked the two candidates for the 2020 Surabaya Pilkada not to take advantage of the club. This includes using the Persebaya symbol or attribute in the 2020 Pilkada contest.

"Politics is the right of citizens. Anyone can do politics as long as you don't bring the name and logo of Persebaya Surabaya," said a club statement.
