JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria said that the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) could be used for political activities. However, what he said today was different from his previous statement.

On Wednesday, May 12, Riza emphasized that JIS is a means of sporting, artistic, cultural, and religious activities. This international standard stadium is not a place of political activity.

"The JIS is used together for sports, artistic, cultural and even religious interests. JIS cannot be used for political purposes," Riza said on Wednesday, May 12.

On this day, Riza said that JIS can also be used as a place for other activities that are considered useful, including political activities such as campaigning. JIS, continued Riza, can also be used for labor association activities.

"Including later if the campaign period is 2024, it's been at the stadium. If it's possible at JIS, I think we'll wait for arrangements from Jakpro (as the BUMD that manages JIS). What's important is that it's a shared asset. We'll keep it clean, tidy, and so on ," said Riza.

Moreover, said Riza, other stadiums such as Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) are also often used as campaign locations in general elections (elections) because they are included in the category of public facilities.

"The public facilities are regulated by the KPU. It is regulated in the KPU and Bawaslu domains, it is what determines which points are possible so far, right the largest in GBK. Later it will be submitted to the KPU, whether JIS can be used," he added.
