"We will further examine this whether it is coordinated by the school. Moreover, the campaign takes place on a school day," Muris explained.

Responding to the findings, Bawaslu planned to conduct a plenary meeting in light of an alleged campaign violation. If necessary, the board will visit the school for clarification or investigation. "If it really needs to be done," Muris told reporters.

Based on Tempo's observation, a number of young people did participate in Sandiaga Uno’s campaign. They donned a light blue shirt and cream-colored pants. Those who called themselves the Indonesian Millennial Movement (GMI) presented a dance show on stage to greet the running mate of Prabowo Subianto.
