Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto reminded his cadres not to give up on the vote count results or quick count which won pair number two, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka. He reiterated the message of the First President of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno.

"To all PDI-P cadres, we remind Bung Karno's message that in that struggle nothing was in vain. No precision is wasted," Hasto said at a press conference at the PDIP DPP office, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, February 14.

Hasto explained that party cadres bearing the bull symbol should not be influenced by this kind of thing because they are used to dealing with political waves. They are often trained by history.

"It is this revolutionary patience that determines because elections are not (only, red) determined by results," he stressed.

"But by post-election how the destruction of democracy will bring a very serious implication in our political life," he continued.

Hasto said that PDIP gave appreciation for the Indonesian people who had come to the polling stations (TPS). However, he mentioned that democracy is currently not doing well.

Moreover, there are many civilian forces, academics, and students who protest the current democratic conditions. "We first appreciate all Indonesian people who have enthusiastically come to polling stations and elections can run smoothly," said the former member of the Indonesian House of Representatives.

"Although the dark clouds of democracy still occur and disrupt the legitimacy of the democratic process in Indonesia," concluded Hasto.
