JAKARTA - West Java gubernatorial candidate Dedi Mulyadi said Comedian Sule or Entis Sutisna was able to convey messages that were much more important to the public through jokes, so she was appointed as a spokesman for Dedi Mulyadi-Erwan Setiawan's winning team.

"This is a comedian, and I believe he will be able to convey messages to the public with jokes that entertain laughter later," said Dedi Mulyadi, in Subang as reported by ANTARA, Friday, September 21.

The candidate pair for Governor and Deputy Governor of West Java, Dedi Mulyadi-Erwan Setiawan (Dermawan) on Thursday night (19/9) officially announced the winning success team, at Taman Buni Sora Lembur Pakuan Subang.

TNI Major General Retired Dwi Jati Utomo and Inspector General (Ret.) Anton Charliyan became the Head of the Dermawan Paslon Winning Team named Barisan Gawe Rancage.

In the winning timses, there were also a number of artists who were directly commanded by Comedian Sule or Entis Sutisna.

In the composition of the names of the winning timses, Sule was appointed directly as a spokesman for the winning team of Paslon Dermawan. There are also other comedians such as Ohang, as well as famous singers in the city of Bandung, namely Melly Goeslaw and Mulan Jamila.

In addition, there were also two senior politicians who also joined the winning team of Dedi Mulyadi -Erwan Setiawan such as Buyy Wibawa and MQ Iswara.

Dedi conveyed that among the reasons why Sule became a spokesman was because he was believed to be able to convey messages that were much more important to the public jokingly.

Not only Sule, in the campaign later, Paslon Dermawan will also involve a number of local artists and cultural observers in each district. That way later there will be a spokesperson per region.

Dedi advised volunteers who have now been formed in a number of areas, so that there are not too many ceremonial events in campaign activities.

"My volunteers ask to focus on voice directions at each polling station (voting station). Don't gather too many," he said.

"Relawans have already escorted polling stations in their respective neighborhoods and registered as witnesses there," added Dedi Mulyadi.

Only in that way, he said, would be monitored by which volunteers were working to find votes and send them to ballot booths.

"Later you will see which volunteers have a lot of votes, it will be mapped," he said.

This is done to minimize people who eliminate votes on election day.

Dedi Mulyadi hopes that the Dermawan Paslon Winning Team can continue to solidly guard the votes that are currently in hand so that they get to butts on the vote later.
