JAKARTA - The Ganjar-Mahfud National Winning Team (TPN) emphasized that quick count must not be misleading. Because it can injure people's sovereignty.

"So don't cause misleading perceptions, because it is very dangerous for democracy and can injure the sovereignty of the people who determine the candidate for leader," said TPN Deputy for Law Ganjar-Mahfud, Todung Mulya Lubis to reporters, Tuesday, February 13.

A quick calculation called TPN has the potential to be misleading because it is not an official result. Moreover, the actual calculation results will be announced by the General Elections Commission (KPU). The time, one month after the voting.

"The question is whether the quick count is fair or not, whether the quick count is implicit or not, whether the quick count is free or not, this is a question that appears every time the presidential election is held," he said.

In addition, Todung also highlighted the possibility of using certain candidate pairs (paslon) for conditioning.

In fact, the potential for quick count results to become part of the conditioning and then be justified into the output of the presidential election.

There was a lot of news in the media stating that the candidate pair 02 was targeted for one round. It's okay, but the quick count can't justify that. Because the official results were only announced one month after the voting day, and went through the manual counting process," said Tudong.
