This was conveyed by the Secretary General of PDIP Hasto Kristiyanto after attending the event. He said the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia preferred to support the pair number 3 spiritually because of the large and structured intimidation.
"We saw various intimidation that occurred massively and this must have been structured. So Mrs. Mega did not come today but gave spiritual support," Hasto told reporters, Saturday, November 23.
"He is contemplation, then has a hijab using a green prayer beads and this shows that various intimidations are carried out by making the truth," he continued.
Megawati is confirmed to continue to support the couple. Although his physical presence was not seen in the grand campaign.
"That's what Megawati Soekarnoputri did. Please pray for her blessing," he said.
