Bawaslu Delays Announces Results Of Handling Allegations Of Violations Of The Gibran Election Sharing Milk In CFD

JAKARTA - The Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) has postponed the announcement of the results of the handling of alleged election violations by candidate for vice president serial number 2, Gibran Rakabuming Raka in the case of distributing milk in the Sudirman-Thamrin car free day (CFD) area.

The results of the handling of alleged Gibran violations were originally announced today. However, the Coordinator of the DKI Jakarta Province Bawaslu Violation Handling Division, Benny Sabdo, said the announcement was postponed until early 2024.

"That is indeed from the Central Jakarta Bawaslu study. They are currently reviewing it, and when I asked for the update to be announced, maybe at the beginning of the year. Between January 2 or 3," Benny told reporters, Friday, December 29.

In this temporary investigation, Bawaslu decided that there would be no election criminal violations from the case of distributing milk by Gibran to the people in CFD. However, Bawaslu still needs to review alleged violations in other regulations.

"The election criminal element was not found and it has been handled by the Indonesian Bawaslu. Bawaslu Jakpus friends are investigating other violations of the law. Now it is being studied and submitted officially," explained Benny.

Until now, Benny admitted that his party had not confirmed whether President Joko Widodo's son would still be summoned or not.

"Yes, if your Central Jakarta friends feel enough, that's it. Just do the study, that's how it is in the handling process, right," he said.

On Sunday, December 3, Gibran distributed free milk to residents in the CFD area or motorized vehicle free day (HBKB) on Jalan MH Thamrin, Central Jakarta.

Bawaslu finally summoned a number of legislative candidates accompanying Gibran to distribute milk at CFD. Bawaslu is checking whether Gibran's activities at CFD are proven to have violated campaign rules or not.

If proven campaign, Gibran clearly violates the rules. This is because the implementation of CFD should not be colored by political activities.

Tertuang dalam Pasal 7 Peraturan Gubernur Nomor 12 Tahun 2016 tentang Pelaksanaan Hari Bebas Kendaraan Bermotor, disebutkan bahwa HBKB tidak boleh dimanfaatkan untuk kepentingan partai politik dan SARA serta orasi undangan yang bersifat mengist.

Then in summoning a number of PAN candidates on Thursday, December 21, Zita Anjani admitted that she did not know who was the first person to bring milk and give it to Gibran to be distributed to the public.

"We don't know the milk. From the start we didn't walk with no milk. When we wanted to go home (there was only). So if you see the milk, the shape is still cardboard and if I'm not mistaken, it's 3 to 4 boxes," said Zita at the Central Jakarta Bawaslu office.

Zita admitted that initially Gibran was accompanied by a number of PAN candidates such as Eko Hendro Purnomo alias Eko Patrio, Sigit Purnomo alias Pasha Ungu, and Uya Kuya intends to exercise while greeting the community in the CFD Sudirman-Thamrin area.

Suddenly, Gibran's entourage received milk from someone who Zita claimed was an unknown person. The milkbox was immediately opened and distributed by Gibran to the public.

"I think it's natural, not planned. His intention is to exercise. Regarding milk, no one brings it, TKN (Pribowo-Gibran National Campaign Team)," explained Zita.
