This was conveyed by Ganjar when he was present at the inauguration of the Aspiration House for Winning Volunteers today, Thursday, June 1. He said, parties do have the constitutional right to nominate certain figures but volunteers are needed to gain votes.

"This house of aspirations is part of our efforts. That the strength of the party and the strength of volunteers can unite, be fine, and be able to work together to win it all. Yes," said Ganjar in front of his volunteers at the Aspiration House for Volunteers for Handling, Jalan Diponegoro, Thursday, June 1.

The Governor of Central Java asked volunteers to move to attract voters. Because they are considered capable of gaining votes.

"In the growth of democracy, the development of our democracy in the end cannot be constitutionally identified by the party which is mandated by the constitution to determine. But gaining electoral votes, volunteers have the right per individual to be able to determine," he said.

"They organized themselves and were shown yesterday in the last two presidential elections," continued Ganjar.

"And those who have been verified as volunteer organs that really exist and seriously support Ganjar Pranowo a total of 795 organs, both nationally, provincially, and in districts and cities," he explained.

"The number is still outside of volunteers supporting Pak Jokowi who have transformed into volunteers from Pak Ganjar Pranowo, one of whose grand meetings has been attended by nearly 300 Jokowi volunteers at the Senayan Hall Basketball on May 13, 2023," continued Basarah.
