Jakarta — President-elect Prabowo Subianto, who will be inaugurated for the 2024-2029 term, has called on his supporters and volunteers from the Prabowo-Gibran alliance to prioritize peace and unity in Indonesia by avoiding any mass protests at the Constitutional Court.
“I want to make it clear,” Prabowo said, “I appeal to all Indonesians, especially the 96.2 million who supported the Prabowo-Gibran ticket, to refrain from protesting outside the Constitutional Court or any other location. We need to uphold our democratic stability and maintain national unity.”
Prabowo acknowledged the accusations made against him by his opponents, but he urged his followers to remain calm and peaceful.
“It’s normal to feel upset given the current tensions,” he acknowledged, “and although many of you may have strong reactions, I urge everyone to stay composed and approach the situation with a mindset focused on preserving harmony and peace. Let’s not fall prey to provocations that seek to disrupt our social calmness.”
Prabowo stressed the importance of showing restraint and keeping a level head to prioritize the well-being of the Indonesian people and the unity of the country.
“I encourage everyone to stay calm, think carefully, and control themselves. Let the Constitutional Court and its judges carry out their duties with integrity, focusing on the welfare of our people and the future of our beloved nation,” he concluded.
