Photos and names of regents and deputy regents in Central Lombok, NTB Province, were painted by irresponsible parties for donations to build mosques and houses. "The information is not true. Beware of fraud," said Deputy Regent of Central Lombok, HM Nursiah in a written statement in Praya, Antara, Thursday, May 2. To anticipate fraud against the profiteering of the names of the Regent and Deputy Regent of Central Lombok circulating on social media Facebook and WhatsApp (WA) which promised to provide donations for the construction of houses, prayer rooms and mosques ahead of the 2024 Pilkada, the district government has issued an appeal letter to the public to be aware or not to believe this information. "The Regent and Deputy Regent of Central Lombok were not involved in that," he said. Therefore, his party hopes that the public will remain vigilant and verify information circulating to the district government or the Central Lombok Communications and Information Service. "If you receive a message or there are people who use the name of the regional head and promise donations ahead of the regional elections, they can be reported to the local government," he said. The simultaneous Pilkada stage on November 27 has begun to be carried out by the General Elections Commission (KPU) in each region, so that a number of candidates for regents and deputy regents in Central Lombok Regency began to emerge.

The Central Lombok KPU has also begun to open registrations for the District Collection Committee (PPK) and the Voting Committee (PPS) for the 2024 Pilkada.
