JAKARTA - Member of the TKN Expert Council Prabowo-Gibran, Budiman Sudjatmiko opened his voice about the circulation of a photo of Bulog rice depicting a presidential-vice presidential candidate (candidate-cawapres) number 2, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka which went viral on social media X (Twitter). Budiman invited to be reported to the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu). He also invited Bawaslu to investigate if it was true that there were findings of Prabowo-Gibran stickerd bulog rice. "“ Please investigate if someone looks like that," said Budiman, Friday, January 26. Budiman ensured that TKN had never instructed such things. Therefore, it does not matter if the findings are reported to Bawaslu for investigation. “ We at TKN have never instructed such a thing. Sometimes the creativity of the people who support below is beyond control. So, if there are findings like that, there is no problem (reported to Bawaslu), ” explained Budiman. Budiman then mentioned the issue of ballots in Taiwan that had been submitted. According to him, the Prabowo-Gibran sticker on Bulog rice is the same as the case. "Some of the things that have been found, voting in Taiwan, which have been nominated number three, are like that. Like that, it was left to Bawaslu, ” he said.

Nevertheless, Budiman was reluctant to conclude that the issue of social assistance rice was used as a tool for the slander attack on Prabowo-Gibran. Even though he said, his party was used to being a victim of hoaxes. "We don't want to go ahead. Just trace it, investigate it. But, we are used to being slandered like that,” said the former PDIP politician.
