Kapanlagi.com - Comedian Komeng is still a hot topic among netizens due to his unusual photo pose on the ballot for the Regional Representative Council (DPD) election in 2024. Komeng's name even became a trending topic on social media.
Not only that, it is rumored that many people voted for Komeng because of this. When contacted by the media on Wednesday (14/2), Komeng spoke up about the photo.
He explained that the concept of the photo on the ballot was chosen spontaneously. Komeng emphasized that there was no intention to attract attention from the public to vote for him through the unusual pose.
"The concept was chosen spontaneously, and at first people were like, 'what is this?'. But now people are pranking and making jokes about it. Adul and I made a comedy sketch about it. Adul's sketch is about traveling, but people are saying it's good, they didn't know it was a comedy sketch. It's the same with the photo on the ballot," Komeng said.
"The intention was not to seek attention," he added.

In addition, Komeng also explained that the selection of photos for the ballot paper is only intended for jokes. In line with his purpose of entering politics so that artists or comedians receive special attention from the government.
"Actually, I just like to come up with jokes. I want something new. If it's like TV, 'wow, make it like that, it's good', ah no. I just like it like that," he said.
"Even if it's not really in the legislative branch, what I'm upset about is, why when I propose a comedy day, it can't happen. But, according to the DPR, it is the executive branch that determines," he concluded.
