JAKARTA - Jokowi Mania Volunteers (JoMan) answered the satire of PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto who said that the change in support from Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo to Gerindra chairman Prabowo Subianto was like'soybean morning afternoon tempeh'. JoMan Volunteer Chairman Immanuel Ebenezer or Noel, said that his party had transferred support to the chairman of Gerindra because PDIP had never promoted Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate (candidate) in 2024. "He said tempeh, right, we are following PDIP. PDIP is not holding Mas Ganjar, Mas Ganjar is also not running," Noel said via text message, Monday, February 20. Noel emphasized that until now there has been no significant sign that Ganjar will be expressed by PDIP or brandishing himself. Therefore, he said, there is no longer any support for Ganjar because he has different ideologies. "Because the fact is that until this moment (Ganjar has not been declared, red). Except for Mas Ganjar running for president, then I went to Mas Ganjar, then I left, now that's mental tempeh. This is no, about the ideology we are fighting for, ideological struggles," said Noel. Noel assessed that Indonesia needed a leader who had the courage and had no mentality. This criterion, said Noel, lies with the Head of Gerindra as well as the Minister of Defense, Prabowo Subianto. "We need a leader who has guts, has courage, and that Prabowo is mentally not a tempe mentality, Pak Prabowo. He is honest Pak Prabowo, he is a tough fighter," he said. Noel also replied to Hasto's satire who called the attitude of Joman volunteers with the parable "soybean morning afternoon tempeh". He mentioned the fugitive figure of the KPK who is a PDIP politician, Harun Masiku. "We don't need a leader with a corrupt mentality. Don't let Masiku do it this morning Mas Hasto," said Noel. Previously, PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto said that changes in support from one figure to another were common at the volunteer level. This was said by Hasto in response to the transfer of support from Joman volunteers from Ganjar to Prabowo. “Ya kalau di Jawa itu ada pagi soybean, sore tempe. biasa berubah-ubah,” kata Hasto di Lebak, Banten, Minggu, 19 Februari. According to Hasto, only the party has always been strong in support. "Only the party is strong. Because the party is driven by ideology, platforms, by history and by the future," explained Hasto. Even so, Hasto emphasized, not all volunteers can change. According to him, there are a number of volunteers who are also not pragmatic. “ There are several volunteers, not all, who are driven by political pragmatism by the morning soybean afternoon tempeh, ” concluded Hasto.
