JAKARTA - Jakarta International Stadium has not yet been inaugurated. But PKS politicians have asked DKI Governor Anies Baswedan for something. He wants JIS to be used as a campaign location in the future.

Member of the PKS faction of the DKI DPRD, Abdul Aziz, suggested that when it was operational, JIS could be used in various political campaign activities. According to him, the Bung Karno Main Stadium (GBK), Senayan, Central Jakarta was once used for campaigning for political parties and presidential candidates during the 2019 general election.

"We are giving it a chance. I think the DKI Regional Government should give all parties the opportunity to campaign in JIS. As we know, Senayan is also used for that kind of campaign," Aziz told reporters, Tuesday, January 25.

Azis has his reasons. He said, political parties as part of community groups have the right to use JIS for political activities. This is because the construction of this magnificent stadium was funded by the regional budget.

"This opportunity must be open because the party is part of the community and this JIS was built using public money," said Aziz.

"So, I think this should be considered for the DKI Jakarta Regional Government so that this JIS can be used during the campaign later. Of course with conditions that must be met," he continued.

As is known, the construction project for the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS), Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta has reached 93.85 percent in the 123rd week of the current construction implementation.

JIS Project Manager of PT Jakarta Propertindo Arry Wibowo explained that the work that was still being completed was currently on the main stadium and interior tidying of all buildings in the stadium area.
