JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto emphasized that all his political journeys were carried out through the mechanisms of democracy and the constitution, ranging from founding a political party to participating in several general elections before finally getting the mandate to lead Indonesia.
This was conveyed by the Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi when explaining one of the President's messages at the Indonesian Science, Technology, and Industry Convention (KSTI) 2026 at the JICC, Jakarta, Friday (26/6).
According to Prasetyo, the President did not use the term "lose" when telling his political journey, but rather had not received the people's trust in several previous elections.
"What he wants to convey is that the five-year election is our common consensus in the democratic system," said Prasetyo.
He explained that after completing his service in the military, Prabowo chose to enter politics because he understood that leadership changes were carried out through elections.
Prabowo, he continued, had fought through the Golkar Party before founding his own political party and following all the mechanisms of democracy.
"He continues to ask for a mandate from the people through the constitutional path until finally in 2024 he gets the mandate to lead Indonesia," said Prasetyo.
According to Prasetyo, the President considers that the trust must be paid with real work to provide better results for the community.
