Witness Ganjar-Mahfud Calls Retired TNI Distributes Social Assistance In Peaceful Periods, Supports Prabowo-Gibran

JAKARTA - Witness from the Ganjar-Mahfud camp, Dadan Aulia Rahman, said that there was a violation of the General Election (Pemilu) by supporters of Prabowo-Gibran in the form of distributing social assistance (bansos) in a quiet period.

The election violation was carried out by retired TNI in Bongbong Village, Pasireurih Village, Cisata District, Pandeglang Regency, Banten, on February 11 and 12, 2024.

"I am here as a witness who will explain about the distribution of aid by retired TNI," Dadan said at the General Election Results Analysis (PHPU) trial at the Constitutional Court (MK), Tuesday, April 2.

The violation was discovered because the location for the distribution of social assistance by the retired TNI was very close to his residence, only 5 meters away.

At least 50 to 70 social assistance packages were distributed. This is because the residents of the two villages were the recipients.

"After returning home, they brought the rice bearing the logo of Gibran and Prabowo," he said.

Hearing this testimony, the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, Suhartoyo, studied the testimony of the witness. Several questions were asked to test it.

"What is this form?" asked Judge Suhartoyo.

"Sembako, rice, oil and noodles," replied Dadan.

"Input in what?" Suhartoyo said.

"If the rice is separated, the oil and noodles are in plastic," said Dadan.

"Who gave it?" Suhartoyo said.

"The one who gave the retired TNI. Pak Yusef (the identity of the retired TNI)," said Dadan.

Then, Judge Suhartoyo asked the witness about what the retired TNI said when distributing social assistance. But Dadan doesn't know about it.

So far, what he knows is that residents have received social assistance with the logo of the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair number two.

"What I saw was a gibran logo and they brought Prabowo-Gibran's business card," he said.

"Isn't there begging to nominate a specific number?" asked Suhartoyo.

"All I know is only to see that. Nothing more," said Dadan.
