South Tangerang Elections Supervisory Committee is scheduled to question Andre Taulany, a deputy mayor candidate in the recent South Tangerang election, for holding an illegal campaign on Dec 29, 2010.
“We've received reports on an activity organized by Andre Taulany. We suspect it was an unauthorized campaign and mass mobilization of civil servants,” committee chairman Sahrono Budihardjo said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
The alleged campaign was reportedly held at Tangerang city hall.
Sahrono said Andre would be asked to clarify the allegations.
A non-governmental organization, represented by Puji Imam Zarkasih, sent video footage and pictures of an Opera Van Java TV program performance in Tangerang. (Andre is one of the stars in the show).
In the videos and pictures, Andre Taulany is seen with Tangerang Regent Ismet Iskandar and other Tangerang leaders, but South Tangerang officials have not been seen on tape.
“We will examine the evidence, to see if any South Tangerang civil servants were involved,” Sartono said.
Andre, partnered up with Arsyid, was on the losing side when they ran in the South Tangerang mayor election last year.
However, in December the Constitutional Court struck down the initial victory of Airin Rachmi Diany and Benyamin Davnie in the city’s first mayoral election, finding that the pair violated the law by mobilizing civil servants during their campaign.
The court ordered South Tangerang to repeat the election in February this year.
