"Maybe Bawaslu is rather uncomfortable, but it's not legal, there is a problem, it's not delicious.The rules are clearly not allowed and stated in the forum. keep these rules together because if they are not enforced, it's not clear, "Ferry told Sriwijaya House, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Tuesday (6/11).

Appreciation of Bawaslu
By the way, spokesman for the National Campaign Team (TKN) Jokowi-Ma & rt AminAbdul Kadir Karding said the Bawaslu's decision on Luhut and Sri Mulyani was right.
According to him, this did not violate the electoral rules, because what Luhut and Sri did was limited to jokes and not to a form of secret campaign.
"I really believe it's a joke story, Yuk number 1, after that idea 1 for Indonesia 1 emerged," Karding said when contacted by reporters.
He thinks from the beginning that the pose of a finger does not contain any criminal elements in the Law No. 7 of 2017 on Elections.
According to Karding, the pose did not meet the prerequisites of the campaign, namely invitations, self-image, vision and mission of the candidate.
"Because the elements of the campaign have invitations, there is a self-image, there is a vision and a mission and this element is not filled in. Therefore, the decision of Bawaslu is correct", did he declare.
In addition, Karding complained that the number of KPU regulations governing the campaign was considered too complicated and that many people did not understand it well.
Siding away from Luhut and Sri Mulyani's business, Karding also suggested that KPU and Bawaslu be able to simplify regulations and distribute them to different parties.
"It seems that we all need to create a space for creativity, a space for expression without harming the principles of democracy," he said.
Earlier, a resident, Dahlan Pido, had reported Luhut and Sri Mulyani to Bawaslu for alleged violations of Articles 282, 283, paragraphs 1 and 2, and Article 457 of the Election Law. The threat, three years in prison and a fine of 36 million rupees.
The two ministers were suspected of committing campaign violations during a photo opportunity at the closing of the IMF and World Bank's 2018 Annual Meeting in Nusa Dua, Bali. , Sunday (14/10).
At that time, Luhut had corrected the finger of the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Christine Lagarde, and the President of the World Bank, Jim Yong Kim, who raised two fingers. So Christine and Jim then pointed a finger.
In addition, said Dahlan, Sri Mulyani also said at the time "Two for Prabowo, one for Jokowi"
After investigating and examining Luhut and Sri, Bawaslu decided today that it was not proven that they had committed a campaign violation.
