JAKARTA - Trust Indonesia Research Director Ahmad Fadli said the victory of Comedian Alfiansyah Bustami alias Komeng is a phenomenon of Policy Fallacy vs Voting Fallacy.

"This policy Fallacy has happened in a city in California. At that time people were fed up with the promises of their leaders that were not kept," he said through a written message received by VOI, Sunday, February 18.

Fadli said there is a state in California, there is a city called Sunol. The people of Sunol City want to call for their aspirations.

"They want Sunol City to be a city whose security is guaranteed. However, the aspirations of the people of Sunol City have never reached the ears of policymakers in the city. In 1981, the Sunol Mayor election period arrived. All the people of Sunol City prefer pets to be their mayors rather than choosing politicians," said Ahmad Fadli.

He continued that the people of Sunol City chose a dog whose name wasction Ramos, which was a type of black Labrador dog. My brother has made history by becoming Mayor for 13 years in Sunol.

"During the election,men managed to get rid of two candidate mayor candidates from among politicians. They also carried out various activities such as leaders in general, namely the inauguration of events, attending live shows monitored, and even participating in parades. People's love forchaotics made them perpetuate the statue ofTEN under the Sunol City clock monument, complete with a classic scarf that the dog usually wears," he said.

He added that the Kodameng phenomenon is part of the Policy Fallacy (mistake of policy) where people choose the council based on Fallacy voting.

"If you look at these two incidents (not me associating Komeng like akunese), then this phenomenon is really ridiculous. When the elected leaders don't want to listen to what the wishes of the people and the people who can no longer voice their wishes to the leader, then the election is a momentum for the people's judgment," he said.

Previously, it was reported that the figure of Alfiansyah Bustami or familiarly called Komeng was being highlighted after his hilarious photo on the West Java DPD ballot paper went viral on social media.

Because of the hilarious photo, Komeng's vote shot up far. Well, in this article, the profile of Alfiansyah Komeng will be discussed.

Please note, based on the KPU's real count, Komeng has pocketed 719,394 or 10.45 percent as of Friday, February 16, 2024 at 13.00 WIB. This figure is predicted to continue to grow.

The election votes for the DPD in the West Java electoral district achieved by Komeng could not be separated from the hilarious photo on the ballot.

Komeng uses photos with her eyes like a surprised expression. This photo is not commonly used for ballots because legislative candidates generally use formal photos.

According to Komeng, the photo was chosen because the KPU suggested photos that use their respective characteristics and look different. Previously, Komeng had been allowed by the KPU regarding the photo.

Many people who saw his photo in the DPD ballot were entertained by the photo chosen by Komeng, even this made people focus on Komeng's photo in the ballot and chose him.

Komeng himself stated that he was serious about running for a DPD candidate. One of the missions that want to be realized is to realize the aspirations of Indonesian artists.
