Bawaslu Supervises Political Safari Ganjar Pranowo In East Java
Chairman of Bawaslu Rahmat Bagja said that his party had overseen the political safari carried out by the Governor of Central Java (Central Java) Ganjar Pranowo in several areas in East Java on Saturday 6 May and Sunday 7 May.
"Bawaslu continues to carry out supervision (of Ganjar's political safari). Monitoring continues whether the person concerned uses state facilities or not," Bagja told reporters in Jakarta, Monday, May 8, which was confiscated by Antara.
After monitoring the prospective presidential candidate promoted by the PDI-P (PDIP) in the 2024 presidential election, he continued, Bawaslu would convey the results of the supervision to the public.
Bagja also said that political safaris cannot be categorized as election violations during these activities are carried out outside the campaign schedule set by the Indonesian KPU.
Even so, he continued, political safaris can be categorized as election violations if they are carried out outside the campaign schedule and there is an invitation to select certain candidates.
"Is there an element of inviting or not? Invite Ganjar not to vote as president? If there is, it is a violation," he said.
