Panwaslu to probe campaign violation

BANDUNG: Garut Regency Election Supervisory Committee
(Panwaslu) is probing an alleged electoral violation, following a
campaign rally held by Megawati's campaign team on Wednesday in
Garut regency.

Zakky Resmana, the chairman of Garut Election Supervisory
Committee, said that the alleged violation happened after Memo
Hermawan, the deputy regent of Garut, led some 500 people in the
regency in declaring that they would support Megawati in the
presidential election runoff.

The committee said that the supporters of Megawati had
breached election regulations as they conducted a rally out of
the campaign schedule, which falls between Sept. 14 and Sept. 16.
Zakky asserted that they campaigned for Megawati in the function,
as they put up large Megawati posters in front of the public and
also urged people on the streets to vote for Megawati in the
Sept. 20 runoff. -- JP
