JAKARTA - A number of candidates from the National Mandate Party (PAN) finally visited the Central Jakarta Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) office to provide clarification on the agenda of the vice presidential candidate Gibran Rakabuming Raka distributing milk in the car free day (CFD) area.

To Bawaslu, Chairman of the Central Leadership Council (DPP) of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Zita Anjani admitted that she did not know who was the first person to bring milk and give it to Gibran to be distributed to the public.

"We don't know the milk. From the start we didn't walk with no milk. When we wanted to go home (there was only). So if you see the milk, the shape is still cardboard and if I'm not mistaken, it's 3 to 4 boxes," said Zita at the Central Jakarta Bawaslu office, Tanah Abang, Thursday, December 21.

Zita admitted that initially Gibran was accompanied by a number of PAN candidates such as Eko Hendro Purnomo alias Eko Patrio, Sigit Purnomo alias Pasha Ungu, and Uya Kuya intends to exercise while greeting the community in the CFD Sudirman-Thamrin area.

Suddenly, Gibran's entourage received milk from someone who Zita claimed was an unknown person. The milkbox was immediately opened and distributed by Gibran to the public.

"I think it's natural, not planned. His intention is to exercise. Regarding milk, no one brings it, TKN (Pribowo-Gibran National Campaign Team)," explained Zita.

On Sunday, December 3, Gibran distributed free milk to residents in the CFD area or motorized vehicle free day (HBKB) on Jalan MH Thamrin, Central Jakarta.

Bawaslu finally summoned a number of legislative candidates accompanying Gibran to distribute milk at CFD. Bawaslu is checking whether Gibran's activities at CFD are proven to have violated campaign rules or not.

If it is proven that the campaign, Gibran clearly violates the rules. Because, the implementation of CFD should not actually be colored by political activities. Tertuang in Article 7 of Governor Regulation Number 12 of 2016 concerning the Implementation of Motor Vehicle Free Day, it is stated that HBKB should not be used for the benefit of political parties and SARA as well as encouraging invitation oration.
