JAKARTA - Jakarta Governor Candidate number 3 Pramono Anung admitted that he would still visit the Sudirman-Thamrin car free day (CFD) area even though the Jakarta gubernatorial election campaign period will start on September 25.

Pramono realized that political activities or campaigns were prohibited from being carried out during the CFD or motor vehicle-free day (HBKB).

However, the former Cabinet Secretariat considers it legal that he and the candidate for Deputy Governor of Jakarta Rano Karno still visit CFD as they routinely do before the campaign period. The important thing is that Pramono does not invite the public to choose himself in the Jakarta Pilkada.

"So if you go to CFD, you can no longer carry out campaign activities. But if CFD is for CFD, you can't cook it, as long as you don't use your identity for campaigns and so on?" Pramono said after the peace declaration of the Jakarta gubernatorial election in Kota Tua, West Jakarta, Tuesday, September 24.

The ban on campaigning in the CFD area is contained in DKI Jakarta Governor Regulation (Pergub) Number 12 of 2016 concerning the Implementation of Motor Vehicle Free Day (HBKB).

Referring to Article 7 paragraph (2) of the Governor Regulation 12 of 2016, it is stated that the HBKB or CFD should not be used for the benefit of political parties and SARA as well as incitement speeches.

Then, Article 9 paragraph (2) letter e states that HBKB participants who violate the provisions in filling out the HBKB implementation event, the HBKB organizers will give a warning letter.

Article 9 paragraph (2) letter f states that if the HBKB participant who has been sanctioned by the reprimand repeats his actions, then the person concerned is no longer allowed to fill the activities in the implementation of the next HBKB.

However, Pramono felt that he did not campaign as a candidate for governor of Jakarta if he visited CFD without bringing his campaign winning team and attributes.

"Yes, I am alone because I am still on my bicycle as usual," said Pramono.

It is known that the 2024 Pilkada campaign period starts from September 25 to November 25, 2024. Jakarta cagub-cawagub now have the Jakarta Pilkada serial number.

In the plenary meeting for the draw and determination of the serial number held by the DKI Jakarta KPU on Monday, September 23, Ridwan Kamil-Suswono received serial number 1, Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana number 2, and Pramono Anung-Rano Karno number 3.

Ridwan Kamil-Suswono was promoted by 12 political parties. The details are the Gerindra Party, the Golkar Party, the Prosperous Justice Party, the NasDem Party, the National Awakening Party, the Indonesian Solidarity Party, the Democratic Party, the National Mandate Party, the Garuda Party, the Gelora Party, the Perindo Party, and the United Development Party.

Pramono-Rano was promoted by PDI Perjuangan and Hanura, while Dharma-Kun Wardana advanced as a candidate pair for an individual or independent pathway.
