The General Election Commission (KPU) will evaluate the action of supporting candidate pairs (paslon) care-cawapres Ganjar-Mahfud MD which raised three fingers when Prabowo Subianto and Anies Baswedan spoke during the debate.

"Yes, I will ask for an evaluation with the candidate pair team," said Chairman of the Indonesian KPU Hasyim Asy'ari after the third debate of the 2024 presidential election at Istora Senayan, Sunday, January 7 evening.

Hasyim said the action of supporting candidate pair number 3 will be discussed in an evaluation meeting with the candidate pair team. He will also ask for clarification on the action.

"Yes, we will discuss it with the candidate pair team during the evaluation of several things earlier, what happened in the debate situation. Is it in the debate situation or the situation of the supporters," he said.

Previously, the supporters of Ganjar-Mahfud raised three fingers when Prabowo Subianto's presidential candidate number 2 responded to Ganjar's question.

The moment occurred when Prabowo admitted that he agreed with Ganjar's answer. The supporters of Ganjar were also seen brandishing three fingers.

"How come I agree a lot with Pak Ganjar, yes. If it's true, it makes sense, I agree. When you talk, talk, say ya kumaha," said Prabowo.

Not only that, Ganjar-Mahfud supporters also did the same thing when the presidential candidate number 1 Anies Baswedan gave a speech. However, they raised their fingers more when Prabowo gave a speech.
