Based on the results of the turnbackhoax search, the claim that Megawati and Tri Risma's pictures supporting candidate pair Cawalkot Surabaya number 2 are false. In fact, the photo is not related to the 2020 Surabaya Pilkada.

A photo of Megawati pointing out two fingers was found in a kompas.com article entitled "Gibran's Journey to Be Cawalkot Solo and Megawati's Instruction ..." broadcast on July 18.

It is known that Megawati's photo was immortalized when delivering a speech during the announcement of the candidate pair for regional head at the PDIP office, Menteng, Jakarta, Wednesday, February 19.

As for Risma's photo, it was found in the radarkediri.jawapos.com article entitled "Guntur Soekarno's Gus Ipul-Puti Campaign Vocal" aired on June 13, 2018. In this photo Tri Risma and Cawagub Puti Guntur were taking a photo together with two fingers up.

Reporting from radarkediri.jawapos.com Tri Risma is one of the most outspoken figures who supports the pair of candidates for governor and deputy governor Gus IPul-Puti Guntur Soekarno at Pikada, East Java 2018, one of the candidate pairs fighting for free SMA / SMK education.

Thus, the claim that Megawati and Tri Risma's picture in favor of the Cawalkot Surabaya candidate pair number 2 is false because it does not match facts and is included in the wrong content category.
