Following the September 2026 simultaneous village head elections (Pilkades) in Bekasi, the Regency National Unity and Politics Agency (Kesbangpol) called on community organizations to help maintain social stability and prevent division. 

By late October, tensions escalated in Lenggahsari, where a dispute between supporters of different candidates led to the relocation of ancestral graves that had been in place for over 20 years. Local police and military personnel intervened to mediate the dispute between the involved families.
