They were gathered in the People's Volunteer Movement for Supporters of Prabowo, President of the Republic of Indonesia (PPRI'24 GERRAK). Sofyan Jacoeb served as General Chair of GERRAK PPRI'24 and Imam Syufaat as Chairman of the Board of Trustees.
"Today we have officially declared the PPRI'24 GERRAK in this Prabowo fighting room in Jakarta, although previously we have made a declaration and 22 provinces have been declared," said Imam at the Prabowo 08 Volunteer House, West Jakarta, Friday, July 21, which was confiscated by Antara.
Imam explained that his party wanted a president who was able to face the challenges of the future, understand the issue of national defense, and love the country and the people.
According to him, this figure is in Prabowo. "And we see that Pak Prabowo is a fighter who from his young age always pays attention to small people," said Imam.
He also invited the public to choose the right president and in accordance with the needs of today's Indonesia. He also invited people to do good democracy that prioritizes harmony.

Meanwhile, Sofyan Jacoeb considered Prabowo as a figure who could unite the nation. This can be seen from Prabowo's joining with the government of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).
"I see that Pak Prabowo is unifying the nation, he wants to sacrifice his personal interests, he enters Pak Jokowi's regime. It's a sacrifice, he has the belief that his followers will be angry, Prabowo has taken into account, but for the sake of this nation, for the sake of this unity, can it be done," said Sofyan.
The PPRI'24 GERRAK declaration was attended by 19 retired TNI-Polri officers, two of whom were former TNI Inspector General Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Geerhan Lantara and former Central Java Police Chief Inspector General Pol (Ret.) Edward Aritonang.
Sofyan said that in the future the number of retired TNI-Polri who will join the PPRI '24 GERRAK will increase.
"God willing, we try to convince our friends from the retired TNI-Polri to be able to join us. Outside of GERRAK, we are also participating in PPIR, namely Retired Indonesian Fighters Raya. This has been moving on," said Sofyan.
