Posters Of Erick Thohir-Khofifah 2024 Scattered In Jember, The Governor Of East Java Smiles

JEMBER - Posters with pictures of the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir and the Governor of East Java Khofifah Indar Parawansa were scattered in a number of locations in Jember Regency ahead of the 2024 Presidential Election.

The poster is green with pictures of Erick Thohir and Khofifah Indar Parawansa wearing white clothes, then there is white writing "Erick-Khofifah 2024".

"It is true that there are many posters of Erick-Khofifah with the words 2024 scattered everywhere. However, we cannot act on it," said Jember Regency Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) Imam Thobrony Pusaka, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, February 15.

According to him, the stages of the 2024 presidential election have not been regulated and there is no schedule for the stages so that his party cannot take action or discipline the posters scattered in a number of strategic locations.

"We can't do much because the regulations for the 2024 presidential election have not yet been regulated," he said.

When asked if Jember Bawaslu found posters other than Erick-Khofifah, Imam Thobrony admitted that he had not seen any posters for other presidential/vice-presidential candidates.

Meanwhile, the Governor of East Java, Khofifah Indar Parawansa, when confirmed regarding this matter, even responded casually and was reluctant to comment much on the posters scattered in Jember Regency.

"Yes, Ma'am, my mandate is in East Java, so I maximize that mandate," she said briefly.

When questioned about her preparation and many posters of the Erick-Khofifah couple scattered in Jember, the former Minister of Social Affairs just smiled and laughed as she left the reporters.

Khofifah paid a working visit to Jember Regency on Monday, February 14 to deliver compensation to the families of victims of a ritual that led to death on Payangan Beach.

Based on field observations, Erick-Khofifah's posters are located in a number of strategic locations, including at the T-junction Saturday Market, then in PTPN's tobacco warehouse in Ajung and Moh. Yamin Street which is densely populated with residential areas.
