Speak Up About His Viral Ballot Photo, Komeng: I Like Anti-Mainstream Komeng © KapanLagi.com/Budy Santoso

Kapanlagi.com - Comedian Komeng went viral on social media due to his unique photo for the selection of members of the Regional Representative Council (DPD) of West Java in the 2024 election. In fact, because of the photo, reportedly many people voted for Komeng to go to Senayan.

"What is their response, many people voted for me, I don't know. Maybe I have to ask those who voted, why did they choose me. I'm confused, I don't know what they like (about many people voting)," said Komeng.

"Is it because of my concept, which I only know is to bring art and culture. Because I want to be like Korea with K-dramas (Korean dramas) and their culinary, it can generate double-digit revenue for the state budget. That's the concept I want," added Komeng.

1. Anti-Mainstream

Then, Komeng explained the appearance of his unique photo on the ballot. According to Komeng, at that time the General Election Commission (KPU) suggested that the photo displayed on the ballot paper should use traditional or regional costumes.

"At that time, the KPU suggested using traditional or regional clothing for the photo on the ballot paper," said Komeng.

However, to differentiate himself from other candidates, Komeng finally chose a photo that showed a wide-eyed expression with his mouth slightly open.

"But I said I didn't want to be the same as everyone else, I just like being anti-mainstream," said Komeng.

2. No Problem

Komeng added that according to the KPU, there was no problem with the photo. Meaning, according to Komeng, there was no violation related to the photo displayed on the ballot paper.

"I submitted that photo and asked the KPU, 'is it allowed?' and they said yes, so there is no violation, I gave them the photo, that's it," concluded Komeng.
