Chairman of the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) Rahmat Bagja said his party would check the alleged inflated vote in Bogor Regency, West Java.

"Bogor Regency? We check Bogor Regency, yes," said Bagja, quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, March 6.

Bagja said that usually the alleged inflating of votes occurred in the selection of legislative members (pileg), including the DPRD.

Therefore, Bagja admitted that he had given directions to the Bawaslu ranks below regarding the alleged inflating of the vote.

"So, our directives are corrected according to C Results, recommendations to KPU friends (General Election Commission). So, you can't leave C The results should be done by friends," he said.

Meanwhile, Bagja said that there were irregularities in several other areas other than what happened in Bogor Regency.

"There are several reports. Some are still in debate. For example, yesterday's Tanjung Pinang (Riau Islands) had two cases. There is another Sumenep (East Java) is a concern," he said.

In addition, he said the areas of Jember, East Java, and Bekasi West Java were also a concern and had been checked by the regional Bawaslu ranks.

Previously, the Bogor Regency Bawaslu, West Java, found allegations of vote inflated actions in a number of sub-districts at the plenary meeting to recapitulate the results of the 2024 election vote acquisition tally.

"What was conveyed in the forum was due to incorrect input. The input error also needs to be deepened, is it due to fatigue in the plenary session or is there indeed an intentional factor," said Head of Bogor Regency Bawaslu Ridwan Arifin after the closing of the district-level plenary meeting in Cisarua, Wednesday morning.

He revealed that the inflation occurred due to the shift in votes ranging from between parties, between candidates, to the shift in party votes to the votes of legislative candidates.

Several sub-districts recorded experienced voice shifts, including Ciseeng, Klapanunggal, Gunungputri, Bojonggede, Jasinga, and Citeureup.
