Independent Candidates for the Solo Pilkada Send Message to Gibran: Play Elegantly

JAKARTA - The independent candidate, Bagyo Wahyono, stated his readiness to face Gibran Rakabuming in the Solo Pilkada.  But Bagyo advised Gibran and his political parties to compete elegantly. 

"So I hope we compete elegantly, play sportsmanship. Don't let any intimidation or black campaign occur. We are people, just play sportsmanship," said Bagyo, Saturday, August 22.

According to him, the Solo Pilkada competition must be escorted by the community. It is hoped that Bagyo residents can participate actively in the Pilkada, including guarding the process. So there will be no cheat.

Bagyo, who is partnered with FX Suparjo, is now conducting further consolidation. The Surakarta KPU stated that the pair of candidates met the requirements for support.

"Our target is 220 thousand votes because we have volunteers," said Bagyo.

The volunteers are Panji-Panji Hati or known as Tikus Pithi Hanata Baris. Bagyo emphasized that this volunteer will work to ensure the vote in the Solo Pilkada in December.

“They will contribute by inviting friends and relatives to support Bajo. We prepare a form to record support from the family, for example, a, b, c, d, e. They are the ones who are ready to support the Bajo until they vote," said Bagyo.

Gibran Rakabuming Raka once stated that he is ready to fight against other candidates. Gibran, paired with Teguh Prakosa, has the support of PDIP, Gerindra, PAN, Golkar, and PSI.

"Whoever the opponent is, I am ready to fight," said Gibran, Wednesday, August 5.
