Surya Paloh Expresses NasDem Accepts Prabowo-Gibran's Victory In The 2024 Presidential Election
Chairman of the NasDem Party, Surya Paloh, stated that his party received the results of the 2024 election vote recapitulation, both the presidential election won by Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka and the legislative elections announced by the KPU.
"The Nasdem Party has stated that it accepts the results of the 2024 election which was held on February 14, 2024, both legislative elections and presidential and vice presidential elections," said Surya at NasDem Tower, Gondangdia, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, March 20.
Surya also congratulated Prabowo-Gibran, presidential and vice-presidential candidates number 2 who received the highest votes compared to the two other candidate pairs.
However, Surya emphasized that the implementation of the 2024 General Election was colored by many records from various parties. Many activists from various civil society groups to professors from a number of universities criticized and raised allegations that the election was marked by fraud.
"But whatever it is whether we like it or not, whether we want it or not, we have to accept it," he said.
On the one hand, Surya emphasized the need for evaluation and correction of the shortcomings of holding elections to improve the democratic process in the future.
"That we must continue to provide endless evaluations, corrections, and discursions in an effort to improve the electoral system and practice democracy, but political life must continue. We must continue to be active in political dynamics that are currently like or dislike, agree or disagree," explained Surya.
