Bawaslu Searches Baznas Basic Food Packages In Bintan Quoted By Candidate Cards

TANJUNGPINANG - Chairman of the Riau Islands Province Bawaslu (Kepri), Zulhadril Putra, said that his staff was investigating the alleged election violation in the package of food assistance from the National Amil Zakat Agency (Baznas) of Bintan Regency which was entrusted with a legislative card.

"This is based on public reports, and the Bintan Bawaslu ranks immediately followed up by conducting searches in the field," Zulhadril said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, December 14.

Even so, he said, the public report had not yet entered the register stage, because from the results of the statements against a number of witnesses, it had not fulfilled the elements of election violations.

According to him, further investigation was needed by Bawaslu colleagues in Bintan to find out the truth.

"Whatever the results will be, we will inform the public, because Bawaslu is transparent in handling this case," he said.

According to public reports, the Bintan Regency Baznas food aid package was handed over, Tuesday (5/12), for the people of Bintan Buyu Village, Teluk Bintan District, through the Head of RT 10/RW 05.

However, in the food aid package, it turned out that one of the candidate candidates for the Bintan Regency DPRD from the Golkar Party, Elyza Riani, was infiltrated.

The card contains a photo of the person concerned along with the sentence of invitation asking for prayers and support from the Bintan DPRD by voting number 9, electoral district or electoral district I, Gunung Kijang District, Toapaya District, Teluk Bintan District and Teluk Sebong District.

"We entrust the Bintan Bawaslu ranks to the handling of this case," he said.
