JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of TKN Prabowo-Gibran Habiburokhman, responded casually to the emergence of the Brawijaya Petition issued by the Ganjar-Mahfud Inter-Relaws Communication Forum. In the petition, Ganjar-Mahfud Volunteers asked Prabowo-Gibran pair number 2 to be disqualified for cheating.

"It's normal to just face the possibility of losing. There are competitions that won, there must be losers," said Habiburokhman, Monday, February 19. The deputy governor of Gerindra also highlighted the Ganjar-Mahfud Volunteers who took issue with Prabowo-Gibran's celebration after winning the quick count or quick count. He emphasized that no rules were violated from the celebration held at Istora Senayan on Wednesday, February 14, that evening.

Habiburokhman assessed that such protests could be a bad signal for democracy. He reminded that cheating charges could be slander if there was no evidence.

"I am afraid that people will be prohibited from laughing or even smiling for a long time. Those who are not allowed to accuse cheating for no reason because they can be called slander," he said. Previously, more than 100 Ganjar-Mahfud volunteers asked the authorities to disqualify candidate pair 02 Prabowo-Gibran for cheating in the 2024 presidential election contestation.

"Asking the authorities to disqualify candidate pair 02 in the 2024-2028 presidential and vice presidential elections," said Head of Projo Ganjar Haposan Situmorang on Jalan Brawijaya Kebayoran, Jakarta, Sunday 18 February.

In the petition, volunteers also rejected the election results for the presidential election and asked the KPU to re-elect by replacing the commissioners of the KPU and Bawaslu because it was considered fraud.

"Asking the KPU to carry out a jurdil (honest and fair) re-election, especially the 2024 presidential and vice presidential elections by replacing the current KPU and Bawaslu commissioners," explained Haposan.

Chairman of Kombas GP Burhan Saidi assessed that the 2024 election was the worst, he suspected that the election victory had been determined for candidate pair 02.

"38 provinces that will hold regional elections, 514 regencies and cities, how many trillion budgets have been spent but the results have been determined, meaning there is no need for elections," added Burhan.

Demands to disqualify candidate pair 02 and re-election, continued Burhan, there were 115 volunteers, of which 103 volunteers were chairman and KSP representing organizations from national volunteers.
