MAKASSAR - Spokesperson for the candidate for mayor-vice mayor of Makassar M Ramdhan Pomanto (Danny Pomanto) -Fatmawati Rusdi emphasized that the allegation of money politics by distributing basic necessities to residents is not related to the candidate pair number one. The distribution of basic food items was carried out by an individual unknown to the candidate pair known as Adama.

“The ones suspected of violating it were not Danny Pomanto and Fatmawati Rusdi as candidate pairs, nor were Danny-Fatma's campaign team, but individuals who were recorded at the location. It was these individuals who were suspected of violating it, ”said Adama spokesman Indira Mulyasari, confirmed by VOI , Tuesday, October 13.

According to Indira, Danny-Fatma has been questioned by Bawaslu Makassar. Both of them emphasized that they did not know about the distribution of basic necessities in the Panakkukang District area.

"Panwaslu Makassar ensures that it fulfills the criminal elements of the election, so it deserves to be followed up by Gakumdu," said Indira.

"This kind of process has also been experienced by candidates like Appi-Rahman before. However, only in this alleged case the Makassar Panwaslu provided press statements. In previous cases, the Makassar Panwaslu did not provide information to the press. For this, it can be asked directly to the Makassar City Supervisory Committee, "added Indira.

What is certain, Danny-Fatma emphasized Indira was not related to the allegations of money politics handled by the Gakkumdu Center. Clarification has been made so that Adama handed over to Bawaslu.

"The point is we have clarified with the witnesses, God willing, we can be neutral and not catch a cold and the truth will be revealed that we did not do this," said Indira.
