PURWOKERTO - Chairman of the Volunteer Advisory Council Prabowo Budiman Sudjatmiko, in his interview in Purwokerto, Banyumas Regency, Central Java, assessed that Central Java was the winner for the Prabowo-Gibran pair in the 2024 presidential election. Budiman is optimistic that with an additional 3-6 percent support, this pair can win the election in one round.

"Central Java as a place where my area came from and has been involved in a lot of politics here in the past, I understand very well that this is an area that is indeed one of the measures for success in how we can get one round victory," said Budiman.

He stressed the importance of winning in one round to provide certainty early, saving time, costs, energy, and thoughts. Budiman also recognized the tight battle in Central Java and considered it a "all Central Java finals."

Budiman said that his party was focused on working and continuing the policies that had been carried out by President Joko Widodo, such as downstreaming, digitization, allocation of village funds, and developing human resources. Although there is no special treatment for Central Java, Budiman noted a strategy to cooperate with nationalists, including nahdliyin, which is considered very important.

As part of efforts to win Prabowo-Gibran in Central Java, on Saturday 6 January, Budiman held a Prabu Concert "Together an Advanced Indonesia" at the Satria Purwokerto Sports Center, presenting Dewa 19 as one of the main attractions. The event was also attended by Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Party Board of Trustees Hashim Djojohadikusumo and several other figures.
