Jakarta – Ahmad Dhani, controversial popstar turned political aspirant, has again lashed out at Jakarta Govenor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, popularly known as Ahok, saying the governor is a "bad example for Indonesia."
Dhani, who made international headlines for dressing in Nazi uniforms while performing and racially-tinged commentary against ethnically Chinese Basuki, made the comments on Tuesday (09/08).
"Personally, I don't want Ahok in Indonesia because Ahok is a bad example for Indonesia," he said, as quoted by news portal Vivanews. "If Ahok wins later, there's no way I'll appreciate it. I will move to Bekasi," he said, referring to the West Java satellite city.
Dhani's own gubernatorial hopes were dashed earlier this year after failing to garner any support among the city's political parties. Basuki, meanwhile, enjoys support from a coalition of major parties and grassroots support group.
