SBY-Prabowo Affirms Targets to Win 2019 Presidential Election

Jurnal Hub. The meeting of the General Chairman of the Democratic Party (PD) Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) with the candidate number 02 Prabowo Subianto was over. In the meeting, SBY reminded Prabowo to be more active in campaigning.

"But I must say, in the context of the presidential election, the superstar is the presidential candidate. He is actually more active in taking part in the campaign, explaining to the people and God willing, will be intensified from January to voting," said SBY after the meeting at his Mega Mega residence. , South Jakarta, Friday.

Meanwhile, Prabowo stressed that he had never doubted SBY's commitment. The ex-Kopanjus Danjen believes that the intimacy of Gerindra and Democrats will be increasingly felt.

"I have never hesitated with Mr. SBY's commitment. He is certainly a state leader, statesman leader, and former army general, have calculations. We also have calculations. We believe that in time this synergy will be stronger and more pronounced," explained Prabowo.

Following are the full statements of SBY and Prabowo after the meeting:

SBY:

Bismillahir rahmanir Rahim. The journalists I love, just Mr. Prabowo and me, and accompanied by leaders and top officials from the two Gerindra political parties and the Democratic Party held a meeting with the aim of synergizing to try to win the political struggle in both the legislative and presidential elections. We both realized, both were important. Because this is a good opportunity after about 3 months we did not have a meeting.

Today we have the same view that the political goals in this election are the success of presidential elections and legislative elections. We certainly want Mr. Prabowo to win, but both the Democrats and the Gerindra have a greater voice in our parliament. It is necessary to have good synergy, good coordination and good cooperation and this is certainly part of our strategy to win this 2019 election.

The second one we also agreed from January to April that God willing, approximately three and a half months later we will focus, especially Mr. Prabowo as presidential candidate, to explain to the people who will choose who the president and vice president are more believed to lead Indonesia more good again, then what will be conveyed is more to the vision, mission and offers and policy programs to answer the people's aspirations to meet people's expectations. In the meeting the Democrats and I personally conveyed to Prabowo as the presidential candidate, according to the Democratic Party after going around the area from end to end, hundreds of districts / cities, what was expected by the people to be fulfilled by future Indonesian leaders.

I am happy that later on in the upcoming January presidential campaign, in this case Pak Prabowo and Sandiaga will be more focused and indeed lead to solutions or answers to what the people want, the issue of what is facing our people today. I told Mr. Prabowo earlier and he also agreed.

Frankly, if I observe, the 3 months we just passed in the context of the presidential election, not much public space can hear what our presidential candidates will do. Maybe not all of them were covered by the press and our mass media. Impressed for the people who often come up are fierce or attacking that is personal or personal. If there is content that is in the form of a vision, mission, program and policy, they are considered inadequate.

Of course, in my view, it is contrary to what the people are waiting for, what will Indonesia do in the next five years. Especially those related to the economy and the welfare that the people want. We agreed to focus more on it.

Then the third is of course there is a timeline that will be carried out together. But I have to say, in the context of the presidential election, the superstar is the presidential candidate. He is the one who is actually more active in taking part in the campaign explaining to the people and God willing, it will be intensified from January to voting.

That's all I need to say. What is clear is that the Democratic Party, as often asked by the press and the media, is its strategy, and whether the legislative or presidential elections are more priority, yes we set the twin goals, double track strategy. One wins the legislative election, we want to win a higher vote, we want to succeed Mr. Prabowo to become the next president. That is certainly our duty and obligation of the Democratic Party politically.

The four months that we passed through the focus or focus of the Democratic Party led to the achievement of the best votes in the parliament without leaving our contribution to the president's victory. The January to April ratio will change and develop again according to the timeline. January, February and then the end of March, April. We have a plan, we have a strategy, we are once again the leader of the party two-two goals can be achieved.

Now, the last one I have conveyed in depth, there were a lot of voices everywhere, in the regions worried that there would be irregularities or fraud in the General Election. I, as a former presidential candidate twice, certainly cannot agree that there will be fraud, lest it is a hoax. But because many of them delivered accompanied testimonies that were worthy of trust, we must truly carry out elections that were peaceful, honest and fair, free and fair election. So we have to work together to prevent, remind and refuse, not to get cheated. Because if there is cheating or even massive, not good, tarnished by our democracy, our election will be tarnished. Especially if the people don't accept it, we will experience a crisis and not what we expect.

In 2004 and 2009 and 2014, however hot the election was, at that time the dynamics and intensity of the campaign were high, still running peacefully honestly and fairly. We want the Democrats and Gerindra to take part to ensure that this election is honest and fair. Because if it is not peaceful, honest and fair, I am worried that it will not be good for the life of this nation after the 2019 Election.

Prabowo:

First of course I thank Mr. SBY along with the ranks of the Democratic Party leaders who have invited us and have received us today for a quite intensive meeting. We discuss and carry out a meeting, almost two hours longer. After that we also served nasi bakar cakalang. Apparently Pak SBY's intelligence was good, knowing that it was one of my favorites too. His intelligence is still sharp.

I thank you, he is my senior. From our corps, sir, yes, ones a senior is always a senior. So he is a person I respect and I see more experience and of course he is experienced. 10 years lead this country calmly, with no turmoil, people feel comfortable. So much that I had to learn from him and thank God his team strengthened us a lot now in the Prabowo-Sandi National Winning Body.

So I emphasize here that we have been facing a marathon for almost four months, and of course we have our own problems. Our country is very big. Our population is very large, there are more than 500 districts, 34 provinces. So building party machines is not easy, so the first months of all parties, I think Democrats, PAN, PKS, Gerindra themselves are trying to revive our machines. Because we are indeed building machines in difficult economic conditions, in the condition that we are not in power so of course this is an effort and struggle that is not light.

When seen in the first months we are busy arranging from below. For example, it is always asked how, how come Democrats and Gerindra rarely meet me and Pak SBY, because each of us has an extraordinary schedule. But our team meets every week. The secretary-general, deputy secretary general, all work intensively, very harmoniously, cooperatively, and we have achieved quite a lot of progress which means that Mr. SBY. Our lobbies, our struggle also at Bawaslu, the KPU, are paying off everywhere, there is progress.

So for that I underlined, I have never doubted Pak SBY's commitment. He was certainly a leader of the country, the leader of statesmen, as well as former army generals, had calculations. We also have calculations. We believe that in time this synergy will be stronger and more pronounced. That we are now in the stage of building our machines from below, I think that's what I want to underline. Don't consider this a meeting, something extraordinary. the technical meeting was intensive every week and the results were already visible.

Then he has lots of input and I consider it very, very important. Then I am very grateful for his commitment and the entire Democratic Party to jointly carry out our political duties for the people of Indonesia. We are optimistic, we feel that he has traveled around hundreds of regencies, AHY is also like that, all Democrats have come down, my team has come down, we feel the people's desire for change. People want change, they want to improve their daily lives, they want partiality from their leaders and we will do that.

I think that's enough of me. Once again, thank you Pak SBY and the Democratic Party and we feel that the support of Pak SBY and the Democratic Party is a very strong encouragement for our struggle.

SBY:

In closing, I would like to convey to my beloved colleagues, the Democratic Party, I am sure that the Gerindra Party, too, will be more intensive in conducting the election campaign in the future. We want to fight well, we will run politics and election campaigns as implemented by the constitution, laws, systems and regulations. Please do not disturb us because we will not disturb anyone. Let everyone get the space and the road to endeavor, each struggling hard. This is the people's dream, beautiful elections, peaceful and democratic elections in the sense of being honest and fair.

If that happens, the people will be able to accept sincerely whoever is elected later. But if that doesn't happen four months into the future, of course the sincerity of anyone to accept the election results will be reduced and we must prevent this together.

Similarly, colleagues. We ask for your blessings, Gerindra Party, Democratic Party, Pak Prabowo and all to fight and make good efforts, thank you, good night.
