JAKARTA - Candidate pair (paslon) number 2, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka is targeting 28.7 percent of the prospective voters or prospective voters who have not made a choice in the 2024 presidential election. The National Coordinator for the Prabowo-Gibran State, Muhammad Pradana Indraputra, said that Prabowo-Gibran had a number of strategies. First, is a two-way campaign that is carried out and not one-way. Two-way campaigns are proven from dialogues carried out when meeting the public compared to one-way speeches. "This is mainly done by Gibran when communicating with the community. This is not only done by Paslon, but we from the State Successor have also launched a voice box for the country.co.id to absorb the voices or aspirations of many young people which we will use as policy recommendation documents in the form of document ideals of the country's successor," Pradana said in a written statement, Wednesday. The second strategy, he continued, is to involve local community figures or local champions who are important factors to increase votes in the pockets of voters' bases.

Then for the third strategy, in investigating the voices of young people, Pradana said that he would continue to involve young people in their work programs and campaign programs. "So it's not young people as objects. But we involve, accommodate aspirations and use young people's suggestions as policy recommendations for Prabowo-Gibran," he said. According to him, this has been proven during a vision and mission speech in Sentul recently, where Gibran spoke many things to prepare young people in various fields including artificial intelligence, block chain, crypto which is a matter of the future. "This is what distinguishes Prabowo-Gibran from other candidate pairs. Because we haven't heard their steps for young people from other candidate pairs to this day," Pradana concluded. It is known that based on the results of the Kompas Research and Development poll on November 29-4, 2023, it shows that 28.7 percent of the prospective voters in the 2024 presidential election. According to the survey, most of the undecidend voters were former Joko Widodo-Ma’ruf Amin voters in the 2019 presidential election, some of whom did not exercise their rights or kept their choices a secret in the last election.
