Stiker Heru Budi At The Transjakarta Bus Stop Questioned By PKS Politicians, Called The 2024 Jakarta Pilkada Early Campaign
JAKARTA - Member of Commission B of the DKI DPRD Muhammad Taufik Zoelkifli suspects that there is an early campaign related to the Acting Governor of DKI Heru Budi Hartono's sticker at the TransJakarta Bus Stop."If you display a lot of banners with photos and personal names, it can be considered an early campaign for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada," Taufik told the press in Jakarta, as reported by Antara, Friday, January 12.This PKS politician said the sticker was installed with the words "Smart choice, safe election, Strong Indonesia!" accompanied by a photo of Heru wearing a white uniform while bending his hands plastered at the door of the TransJakarta Bus Stop that was not on time.Because, according to him, the regional head election campaign (pilkada) has not yet been scheduled based on the draft General Election Commission (PKPU) regulation, starting from September 25 to November 23, 2024.Meanwhile, the current campaign period is held to welcome the presidential election (pilpres) and legislative elections (pileg) so that those who are suitable for campaigning are presidential candidates, vice presidential candidates, legislative candidates and Election participant parties.Moreover, if you use the reasons for peaceful and neutral elections, there is no need to accompany the appearance of facial images from officials, especially Heru, who is predicted to be a candidate for Governor of DKI 2024."There are enough names, symbols or icons of the City of Jakarta such as Monas and so on," he said.Although in TransJakarta there is no rule of posting photos of officials, he highlighted ethics that should adjust the campaign period. "In my opinion, ethics, because this is not the election campaign period, it shouldn't be done," he said.Commission B of the DKI DPRD will see thoroughly the rules in TransJakarta in order to create safe and comfortable use of public transportation.Previously, the management of PT TransJakarta stated that the installation of the Acting (Pj) sticker of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono at a number of TransJakarta bus stops contained an appeal for the public to play a role in keeping the 2024 General Election safe and peaceful.
"We have installed stickers since November 10, 2023. In order to welcome the implementation of the 2024 General Election, we have invited to keep the election running safely," said Head of the Public Relations and CSR Department of PT TransJakarta Wibowo in Jakarta, Thursday (11/1).
