Presidential candidate number 3 Ganjar Pranowo was reported to the General Election Supervisory Agency of Surakarta City, Central Java, on suspicion of distributing vouchers or shopping coupons during a free-free car (CFD).

The former governor of Central Java admitted that he had never shared a voucher during the CFD on Sunday (24/12/2023).

"I don't share it, I don't share it at all," said Ganjar on the sidelines of a campaign in Tegal City as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, January 11.

According to him, the distribution of vouchers was carried out by his friends. Ganjar is also ready to provide clarification to the Surakarta Bawaslu regarding this matter.

"But, there seems to be my friends who shared it. It's okay, we will clarify later," he said.

Ganjar admitted that he was surprised when the residents expressed their gratitude at the CFD arena. He emphasized that he never shared vouchers during CFD.

"When I asked, 'Why do someone thank you', 'Thank you Mr. Ganjar', 'Yes, you're the same', 'Thank you, what are you?' that's it," said Ganjar.

Previously, a group of people calling themselves People Caring for Democracy reported Ganjar to Bawaslu Surakarta City on suspicion of campaigning and distributing vouchers while in Surakarta CFD.

The People Cares for Democracy said the moment for sharing vouchers was recorded in the video when Ganjar volunteers also submitted an invitation to choose Ganjar from the voucher recipient.
