"We have had a meeting and coordination meeting with political parties related to the violating APK," said the head of the Tangerang City Bawaslu, Mr. Komarulloh in a short message, Thursday, January 18.

Kumarulloh said that until now there are 6,707 APKs that have been issued from December 15 to January 15. The plan will be to control the APK again which violates the rules in the near future.

Nevertheless, he admitted that he could not convey the complete time. Because, his party is currently focusing on logistics supervision and the inauguration of polling stations in Tangerang City.

"This week (Bawaslu) focuses on logistics supervision and campaign supervision. Especially for internal affairs, we are preparing for the announcement of graduation and the inauguration of the Tangerang City Se-City TPS supervisor," he said.
