TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu) of Jakarta is still examining alleged campaign violation during Islamist gathering Munajat 212 held in Monas, Jakarta, Thursday, February 21.

“We are still collecting results of field monitoring done by all officers from the levels of province, regency-city, district, and sub-district,” Bawaslu Jakarta head Muhammad Jufri told Tempo via phone call, Friday, February 22.

Besides, Jufri added, he asked the public to actively file a report to Bawaslu should they find a violation against the election during the event.

Earlier, the national campaign team of Jokowi-Ma’ruf Amin deemed the Munajat 212 was laden with campaigns and a part of politicization of religion.

According to the campaign team spokesperson, Ace Hasan Syadzily, it was evident in the two-finger salute made by Gerindra deputy chairman Fadli Zon and the speech delivered by the National Mandate Party (PAN) chairman Zulkifli Hasan, as well as the presence of a number of figures backing presidential candidate number 02, Prabowo Subianto.

Therefore, Ace suggested the Bawaslu should act on the matter accordingly to its authority. “[Bawaslu] should not wait for public reports because Bawaslu Jakarta itself directly monitored the event. It’s too obvious that the event contained politics with chants similar to campaigns,” Ace noted.

Meanwhile, Fadli Zon claimed there was no political element during the mass prayer event. “I think there is no invitation (campaign) or any agenda related to politics. I think the event is still within the corridor,” Fadli told reporters Friday, February 22.
