Jakarta – Several residents of West Jakarta have complained of annoying pictures of the Jakarta governor candidates Hidayat Nurwahid and his running mate Didik J. Rachbini posted on their properties.

Erik, 35, a resident of Cengkareng said the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) politician's supporters attached many pictures of Hidayat-Didik in his neighborhood in the past three days.

"We realized that his posters and stickers were attached on our properties after waking up in the morning. Presumably, his supporters done this in the early hours while we were sleeping," Erik said as quoted by beritajakarta.com.

Meanwhile, Daud, 40, said that the supporters failed to ask permission from the residents. He said that the residents complained that the posters had made their neighborhood look cluttered.

An official from the West Jakarta's District security officer, Kadiman Sijintak, said his office had yet to receive the complaints. "However, we will verify the news first before we do something about it," he said.

The gubernatorial election is slated to commence on July 11.(ued)
