akarta gubernatorial candidate Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono has dubbed a community of cyclists who support him the “Bike One for Jakarta Community”, seemingly after the ballot number of the Agus-Sylviani Murni ticket.
Agus coined the title spontaneously when greeting hundreds of cyclists who claim to support him in South Cipinang Besar, East Jakarta, on Sunday.
“We have to be united in the struggle for a more developed, safer and more prosperous Jakarta,” the son of former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
Silviana, who was standing next to Agus, responded by raising her hand and forefinger in a “one” gesture while the bikers applauded the pair.

Agus, a former military officer, and Sylviana, a former Jakarta bureaucrat, have been intensifying their campaign efforts ahead of polling day on Feb. 15.
Some pollsters have suggested the pair’s electability is in decline, with some putting the ticket in third place behind incumbent pair Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama-Djarot Saiful Hidayat and Anies Baswedan-Sandiaga Uno. (bbs)
