Up to 1,200 police personnel, mostly from South Jakarta Police office, have been deployed to safeguard the inauguration of the newly elected South Tangerang mayor and deputy mayor today, a police official says.
“We are also sending water cannons and barracuda vehicles as extra precautions [to safeguard] the ceremony,” South Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Gatot Edi Purnomo said Wednesday, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
He added that the police mobile brigade (brimob) would be assigned to guard several key posts during the ceremony. Banten Governor Ratu Atut Chosiah is scheduled to lead the ceremony, with dozens of local officials slated to attend.
Airin Rachmi Diany and Benyamin Davni won the second election by garnering 188,893 votes, or 46.4 percent, winning over the three other candidate pairs including the pair of Arsyid and comedian Andre Taulani. It wasn’t an easy victory for the Airin and Benyamin pair since the results of the initial election were rejected by the Judicial Commission after allegations of misconduct by the winning pair.
