JAKARTA - The National Campaign Team (TKN) Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka claims that candidate pair number 2 has received support from President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) of 200 percent. This was conveyed by the Deputy Chairperson of the TKN Silfester Matina in front of the Indonesian Unity Front (BPI) volunteers when declaring support for Prabowo-Girban at the Kertanegara House, Tuesday, January 16. Initially, Silfester said that his party did not care about the 'BEATing' of candidate pair 02 by the 01 and 03 camps who were determined to win the 2024 presidential election in one round. The reason is, currently the survey figure has shown that Prabowo-Gibran's electability is almost 50 percent. "If we are calm, the important thing is that now we move down, ask the people for blessings and pray to God that Prabowo-Gibran will win, that is the most important thing," said Silfester in Kertanegara, Monday, January 16. Moreover, he continued, President Jokowi had directed support for Prabowo-Gibran. If there is another Paslon that claims to be supported by Jokowi, said Silfester, it is a lie. "Here I emphasize that Mr. Jokowi 200 percent supports Prabowo-Gibran, there is no one else. Well, we have to tell the public that Pak Jokowi loves you completely to Prabowo-Gibran and supports 200 percent. You see, there are still other candidate pairs saying they are supported by Pak Jokowi, that's a lie," he said. However, Silfester reminded supporters to keep going to the community, tapping on the doors of residents in remote parts of the country to choose candidate pair number 2 on the ballot paper on February 14. "So we have to go down, we are also grateful at this time if we look at our top survey, but don't let this be our benchmark not to go down to knock on the doors and hearts of the community. So indeed we have to come, we ask for our blessing, especially in remote areas, ladies and gentlemen. Maybe those in urban areas already, they understand better, but those in remote areas we must also explain the vision of the mission and also the struggle of the candidate pair 02," explained Silfester. Previously, the Indonesian United Front volunteers declared support for Prabowo-Gibran to become the President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia 2024-2029. The volunteer group from elements of farmers, fishermen, and commerce considered that Prabowo-Gibran was able to provide progress for Indonesia. "It's time for 2024, BPI with all its strengths to support Pak Prabowo and Mas Gibran to become president and vice president in 2024," said BPI Chairman Sapto Winarno during a declaration in Kertanegara.

BPI assesses that Indonesia should be led by true patriots. BPI hopes that Prabowo and Gibran can bring Indonesia more prosperous. "Once again, BPI is supporting Pak Prabowo and Mas Gibran as president and vice president of the Republic of Indonesia in 2024-2029," he said.
