T
he team of Jakarta gubernatorial candidate Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama and deputy governor candidate Djarot Saiful Hidayat is set to change the venues for campaign events after some people apparently refused to host the events.
“We will have a meeting this afternoon to discuss campaign spots,” the team’s spokesman, Bestari Barus, said on Sunday, as quoted by kompas.com.
Bestari, a politician from the Nasdem party, said he was sure there would be no more refusals until the gubernatorial election, scheduled for February next year.

The campaign locations for the Ahok-Djarot pair have been registered with the Jakarta General Elections Commission. But in the past few days, certain people, reportedly from outside the planned locations, have expressed their rejection.
On Sunday, Djarot reportedly cancelled a visit to two locations in the Kebayoran Baru district of South Jakarta due to safety concerns. (jun)
