Tomorrow Afternoon, Gibran Will Fulfill Central Jakarta Bawaslu Calls

Vice Presidential Candidate number 2 Gibran Rakabuming Raka will fulfill the summons of the Central Jakarta Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu Jakpus) regarding the distribution of milk in the Car Free Day arena some time ago.

This was conveyed by the Deputy Chairperson of the TKN Prabowo-Gibran, Habiburokhman in response to a summons from the Central Jakarta Bawaslu to Gibran today. Due to the unclearness of the letter, Gibran was actually called absenteeism.

"We will ask questions tomorrow. Because Mas Gibran insisted on attending if there was a summons from any agency. Because he respects his institution. But we will question the substance to the Central Jakarta Bawaslu," Habiburokhman said in a press conference broadcast on the YouTube channel Prabowo Gibran, Tuesday, January 2.

Habiburokhman then explained about the two letters sent to the Volunteer TKN Secretariat located at Slipi, West Jakarta. The first letter was received on Saturday, December 30, 2023, to fulfill the summons on January 2, 2023.

"So they were called to attend January 2, 2023. This is an unreasonable letter, I think they are playing with the time machine, because they were called for the past year," he explained.

"Therefore, Mas Gibran, we recommend not attending because his letter is formally flawed and does not make sense to attend on January 2, 2023," he continued.

The second letter, continued Habiburokhman, was received on Tuesday, January 2, 2024 at 17.35 WIB for a call on January 3, 2024 at 13.00 WIB. According to him, the letter actually did not fulfill the element of the feasibility of summoning because it was not yet 1x24 hours.

"But we coordinated with As Gibran, he insisted on attending tomorrow," he said.

The deputy chairman of the Gerindra Party was surprised because the Indonesian Bawaslu had issued a letter regarding the status of the report on behalf of the reported Gibran Rakabuming Raka on December 27, 2023.

Bawaslu, said Habiburokhman, stated that the status of the two reports was not followed up on the grounds that they did not fulfill the elements of the election criminal offense. The letter was even signed by the Chairman of the Indonesian Bawaslu, Rahmat Bagja.

"Arriving yesterday, a letter appeared circulating among journalists, I don't know who circulated it, but we didn't get it, we just got a letter for two days in a row," explained Habiburokhman.

Therefore, the Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR also questioned the basis for summoning the Central Jakarta Bawaslu to Gibran. This is because the Indonesian Bawaslu has stated that no cases have been followed up and have been deemed completed.

"If it is likened to this, the National Police Headquarters stated that this case was not followed up, because it did not fulfill the element of violation, then the Police level made a new summons. As far as I know, as long as I have been active as an advocate in the field of electoralism, there is no term new fact fact in the examination process at Bawaslu, it doesn't exist," said Habiburokhman.

"I don't understand, is Bawaslu instusi or Bawaslu personnel 'just want to do our vice presidential candidate'?," he added.

Secretary of TKN Prabowo-Gibran, Nusron Wahid added, Gibran will attend according to the time scheduled for the Central Jakarta Bawaslu invitation. The Mayor of Solo will be accompanied by Deputy Chairperson of TKN and Deputy Commander of Echo, Habiburokhman and Deputy Commander of Alpha, Fritz Edward Siregar.

"The invitation was at 13.00, ideally people came at the invitation time, who accompanied Habiburokhman and Fritz," said Nusron.
