Jakarta is cleard from illegal campaign posters and ballyhoos

Jakarta, the Capital of Indonesia starting yesterday was cleared from the many election campaign posters and ballyhoos that had decorated Jakarta’s streets and open spaces put by participants of the Legislative Election Candidates of many parties. They were considered illegal because the owners of those posters and ballyhoos had not paid the required campaign tax and were not installed properly according the election campaign rule.

As of today, only those posters and ballyhoos that met campaign rule are seen around Jakarta’s sky, noted particularly those large ballyhoos belonging to Partai Demokrat, the ruling party of Indonesia, which advertise the success of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

In another situation, several Presidential Candidates who appeared much earlier in the election campaign, such as Mr. Sutiyoso. Mr. Rizal Ramly had gradually reduced their campaign presence, because of the high cost required to maintain campaign through mass media, television, radio, prited leaflets, ballyhoos and posters.

Thus only the strong, powerful and rich leaders of Indonesia will be able to continue campaigning for the leadership of the country.
