REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Jakarta Metropolitan Police chief Inspector General Mochamad Iriawan has issued a joint declaration to ban any mass mobilization during the run-off election.

Anyone is banned to conduct any mass mobilization that could cause physical as well as psychological intimidation in the form of any kind of activity. This includes mobilizing people at TPS, which could make the security and order situation in Jakarta less conducive and make people feel intimidated physically as well as psychologically, while in fact there have been Jakarta General Election Commission (KPU) as well as Bawaslu (Election Supervision) to manage the election.

The TNI, the police, or agencies concerned will prevent any group from outside Jakarta intending to conduct any mass mobilization and check them before ordering them to return, while those who have been in the city will be asked to return to their regions.
