Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto said the statement of presidential candidate number 2, Prabowo Subianto, who wanted to embrace power in Indonesia was a sweet promise that was too early. This is because the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) process has not yet been completed. "So when there were parties who then delivered victory speeches, conveying various sweet promises, of course it was too early," said Hasto to reporters, Thursday, February 15. According to him, the election process can be declared complete after the General Elections Commission (KPU) announces the results of the vote recapitulation. Thus, all data can be accounted for. "Well, so that all of them are observed and later it will be until the time comes to convey a political attitude towards the overall results of this presidential election," he said. Prabowo Subianto previously stated that he wanted to embrace all strengths in Indonesia if he won the 2024 Presidential and Vice Presidential Elections (Pilpres). "If it is given the mandate of Prabowo-Gibran, I will embrace all the strengths in Indonesia. I will not leave anything," he said. Prabowo was willing not to differentiate, neither his supporters nor, when he was elected president.

"I will be president for all Indonesian people, both those who vote for me and those who do not vote for me, both those who love me and those who hate me," he said.
