JAKARTA - Presidential Candidate number three, Ganjar Pranowo, reminded his supporters to obey traffic rules and not use Brong exhaust during an open campaign. The incident of mistreatment of volunteers in Boyolali, Central Java, should not happen.

This warning was conveyed by a meeting of the Regional Winning Team (TPD) at the Internatio Building, Surabaya, East Java, on Saturday, January 13, 2024. Initially, Ganjar appreciated the TNI's quick steps to investigate the persecution, but also reminded volunteers and their supporters to be orderly.

"That will be the last. We also appreciate the TNI for responding quickly. To the supporters, to be orderly and obey the rules, including not using Brong exhaust," said Ganjar, quoted from a written statement.

The open campaign will start on January 21 to February 10, 2024. Then, the calm period will continue ahead of the voting on February 14, 2024.

Furthermore, Ganjar asked his supporters to dare to fight if they were disturbed after joining the rules. He advised not to be afraid of intimidation that often occurs in the field.

"So, if it is orderly and follows the rules, it will still be disturbed, just hit it!" said the former Governor of Central Java.

Previously, seven volunteers from Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD in Boyolali, Central Java, were beaten by TNI soldiers. The persecution was recorded and went viral on social media.

At the beginning of the incident, it was suspected that the volunteers participated in the convoy of Ganjar's entourage with a motorbike convoy with a Brong exhaust. As a result of this incident, two people had to be treated intensively.
