The Head Of The Legislative Candidate, Margonda Depok Street, Was Removed By The Joint Team

The joint team removed campaign props (APK) for legislative candidates from various political parties installed along Jalan Margonda Depok City, West Java

"The campaign props were removed by the team because they were on the median of the road and installed on trees," said Head of Depok City Satpol PP Mohamad Thamrin as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, January 24.

In removing the APK, Satpol PP was accompanied by the Depok Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu).

Thamrin explained that the joint team carrying out control activities consisted of Bawaslu, Satpol PP, Depok Metro Police, Kodim 0508/Depok, the Environment and Hygiene Service (DLHK), and the Depok City Transportation Service (Dishub).

According to him, there are three roads that are prohibited from installing campaign props. The three roads are Margonda Street, Juanda, and Arif Rahman Hakim.

"The three roads are prohibited points from installing the APK, this is based on Depok KPU regulations," he said.

Previously, the PPK control activity of Depok City Bawaslu had made notifications to political party officials in Depok City.

The notification was to remove the APK installed to be removed by them.

"A notification has been made by Bawaslu to party officials in Depok.

"The letter was issued by the Depok Bawaslu today, Wednesday, we are accompanying it for the implementation of the APB control," he said.

The Depok City Satpol PP will move at all points on February 11, 2024, during a calm period of the election.

"We (Satpol PP) are currently following the direction of Bawaslu. We will also carry out control simultaneously on 11th, 12th, and 13th February 2024. The APK which is still attached to our public road is removed," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Depok Bawaslu, Fathul Arif, said that the control of the APK today was the second time it was carried out with a joint team.

"The day we brought order to the APK along Jalan Margonda," said Fathul Arif.

The Depok City Bawaslu hopes that the legislative and political party officials will not violate the installation of the APB.

"We control the dangerous APK and the APK installed on Jalan Margonda violates campaign rules," he said.

Regarding the political party flag, he continued, he explained that the flag was not a campaign tool. But if there is a candidate for legislative members, of course we will order it.

"The party flag is included in the category, not the APK except the flag with its name, the name of the legislative candidate. Of course we will still order it," he said.
