MAKASSAR - Candidate for mayor number 3 Syamsu Rizal (Deng Ical) posted a photo of Jusuf Kalla (JK) while posing three fingers. The Munafri Arifuddin-Abdul Rahman Bando team emphasized JK's support for the pair number two in the Makassar Pilkada.

JK's photo was posted as Deng Ical's Instagram profile photo. In the photo, JK is wearing batik and showing three fingers.

"Mr. JK clearly and firmly delivered a testimony of support during the Appi-Rahman declaration last August. If Deng Ical posts certain photos, that's his right, ”said Fadli Noor when contacted by VOI, Saturday, November 7.

Meanwhile, political expert from the University of Bosowa (Unibos) Makassar, Arif Wicaksono, said that the game of symbols in political contestation is natural.

"Biasaji, the game of symbols so there might be a demand, the need for Dg Ical to use a symbol with the number 3, maybe if the question is? Then pairing Dg Ical and Pak JK are the same in PMI, so it's only natural that it's like that," he said.

But Arif asked why Deng Ical had just posted a photo of JK in the past few days.

"This will make people think again, don't let Dengg Ical already know how much strength he actually has, so Mr. JK is only now using it for that," he concluded.

Previously, the senior political figure Jusuf Kalla (JK) expressed his support for the candidate pair for mayor-deputy mayor of Makassar, Munafri Arifuddin-Rahman Bando (Appi-Rahman) in the Makassar Pilkada. Munafri, who is also JK's nephew, is considered the most fitting to lead the largest city in Eastern Indonesia.

"Makassar City, the largest city in Eastern Indonesia, handling Makassar is very important. Therefore (it must be) led by a good mayor who knows the problem, "said JK in a video statement seen by VOI, Monday, October 12.

Not only does he understand the root of the problems that must be resolved in Makassar City, the mayor according to JK must have experience in the business field. Because connectivity between regional leadership and business to ensure investment in the regions is very necessary.

"Because it takes a good relationship, a good entrepreneurial ability. Therefore, I also hope that Appi, who is running as a candidate for mayor, is sure to be able to appoint Makassar to take a good role for the progress of all of us. That is our hope, ”said JK.
