YOGYAKARTA - A video showing Satpol PP members removing the poster of Ganjar Pranowo's presidential candidate circulating on social media. This removal took place during Ganjar's visit in Yogyakarta on November 16.

The video shows Satpol PP members walking while removing the poster of Ganjar "Mrku Ya Rakyat" with a green accent stuck in a tree. In their hands there are already several posters of Ganjar that have been removed.

In the video, it is written the time and location of the removal, namely this afternoon on Jalan Batikan, Tahunan, Umbulharjo, Yogyakarta City.

The head of the Yogyakarta City Satpol PP, October Noor Arafat, admitted that the video showed the poster's removal. According to him, this is a form of controlling and enforcing the Yogyakarta City Regulation Number 6 of 2022 concerning billboards.

"This is an activity to control daily billboards. Not only the X-rays of one of the presidential candidates but everything that is not in accordance with our regional regulations is orderly. Especially those who are not licensed and accompanied by trees," Octo said when contacted.

This control will last every day until the campaign period. During the campaign, the enforcement of the rules will be coordinated by Bawaslu.

Octo also denied the removal of the poster related to Ganjar Pranowo's visit to Yogyakarta. According to him, all posters that were not in accordance with the rules were also removed. He even mentioned one party that was not from the Ganjar coalition as the most poster rules violators. "Once again this has nothing to do with Ganjar's visit," said Octo again.

During the visit to Yogyakarta, Ganjar visited his former boarding house in Klitren, Gondokusuman in the morning. After that, Ganjar attended the declaration of the Ganjar-Mahfud Regional Winning Team (TPD) for the Special Region of Yogyakarta at the Royal Ambarrukmo Hotel pavilion, Sleman Regency.

Previously, the action of removing the Peraga Campaign Equipment (AKP) Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud in the form of posters and billboards occurred in Gianyar, Bali and Pematangsiantar, North Sumatra. Like the incident in Yogkakarta, the removal in Gianyar and Pematangsiantar went viral after being spread through social media.
