INFOKU, BLORA – It is estimated that the sanctions against the Head of Jomblang Village , Jepon District, who is suspected of violating the neutrality of the 2024 Pilkada will continue.
Despite being cleared of alleged criminal election violations , Jomblang Village Head Agus Mukmin cannot yet breathe a sigh of relief.
Because there is still a legal process regarding the alleged violation of neutrality, sanctions are also potentially waiting.
