TPN Ganjar-Mahfud Reports One Volunteer Dies And Four Seriously Injured

JAKARTA - The Deputy for Law for the National Winning Team (TPN) Ganjar-Mahfud Md, Todung Mulya Lubis, reported that as many as one volunteer died and four people suffered serious injuries due to violence from TNI personnel.

"We received reports from Klaten and Boyolali, these are reports and acts of violence that are very unacceptable. One died and four people were seriously injured," said Todung at Djakarta Theater, Jakarta, Saturday, December 30.

He said one person died from Klaten and died in the hospital. "Those who died were volunteers supporting Ganjar-Mahfud who were suspected of experiencing violence and brutality by other pairs of candidates," he said.

Meanwhile, the four victims who were injured were abused by TNI personnel, at the local TNI post, so his party urged the TNI Commander to take immediate action.

"If that is true, we would like to ask the TNI Commander to take firm action and be legally responsible for those who commit this act of violence," explained Todung.

According to him, this cannot be justified, because the people want peaceful, orderly, and regulatory elections. Thus, all acts of violence committed are clearly against the law.

"We cannot accept that and we will process this legally in accordance with applicable regulations. This brutality is dangerous, this violence endangers our election because it creates a climate of fear and we must not allow this," he said.

Therefore, he requested that all contestants in the 2024 presidential election can respect the applicable laws and regulations. In addition, Todung emphasized that his party asked for further investigations from the Police and the TNI.

"We want to ask for an investigation from the Police and the TNI, because we are very concerned and very sad and cannot imagine. Will we have a peaceful election and presidential election if this kind of situation continues, let alone resolved? So this cannot be allowed," concluded Todung.
