MEDAN - Candidate for Mayor of Medan Akhyar Nasution denied reports that he almost beat the Medan Deli Panwascam officer, Faisal Haris. Akhyar gave clarification to Bawaslu Medan.

Akhyar Nasution was in the Gakkumdu Bawaslu Center for Medan for about 1 hour. After clarifying the reporters, the candidate number 1 in the Medan Regional Head Election again denied Panwascam's report.

"Nothing happened. I was invited here (Bawaslu), I respect that invitation," said Akhyar, Sunday, November 1.

Akhyar who is paired with Salman Alfarisi in the Medan Regional Election recounts the chronology of events when he attended a family event.

"Nothing (incident), so at that time, after the program I left, that was my hometown, my birthplace.

When I came home I took a motorbike, I went home, "he said.

"Only when I want to go home, because the road is still congested I just look, maybe this is the head of the Panwas. I don't know, I don't say anything and there's no movement either," continued Akhyar.

From the report to the Medan Bawaslu, Akhyar allegedly wanted to beat the Head of the Medan Deli Panwascam. Akhyar regretted the accusation.

"That is false news which is very misleading, we object to Bawaslu. Before clearing the problem, why did he talk in the mass media," he said.

This report is called Akhyar harming him. Therefore, Akhyar and the team will report back regarding the report.

"It is very detrimental to me as a candidate pair. Nothing happened, how come he said I wanted to beat him. That slander that is very cruel to me," he said.

Meanwhile, Head of Medan City Bawaslu, Payung Harahap, explained that his party would immediately forward Akhyar's clarification to Gakkumdu.

"I personally cannot make a decision yet, because it is still in process in Gakkumdu itself. Because they will make an assessment and study of the statements and reports as well as the clarifications that were delivered earlier," he said separately.

In this matter, Payung said that Bawaslu Medan would still wait for clarification from the committee inaugurating the Legiman Fighters Association.

"We are still waiting for the Chairman of the Legiman committee to not come. We will call again. It will strengthen the report of the Medan Deli Sub-district Panwas," he said.
