Jakarta – Candidate number 2, Prabowo Subianto, took advantage of the closing statement moment in the last presidential debate to call for unity and apologize to the other candidates.
He said that during the campaign period for the 2024 presidential election, national unity and togetherness were affected. Therefore, Prabowo, representing candidate number 2 and the Indonesian Forward Coalition (KIM), apologized to candidates 1 and 3, if there were any unpleasant things during this campaign.
“Fellow countrymen, we have just spent several months carrying out a campaign full of spirit, full of contestation, and sometimes full of harsh words. But, our intentions are good, I think all 3 candidates want the best for the people of Indonesia,” Prabowo said in his closing statement at the fifth presidential debate of the 2024 election held at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), Jakarta, on Sunday (4/2).
“I, on behalf of Prabowo-Gibran and on behalf of the Indonesian Forward Coalition, apologize to candidate 1, Mr. Anies-Mr. Muhaimin; and candidate 3, Mr. Ganjar and Mr. Mahfud, if there were any words or actions from us during this campaign that were less pleasant. We apologize sincerely,” Prabowo continued, followed by a bowing gesture from Gibran.
In essence, Prabowo stated that the struggle of the three candidates aims to give the best for the nation and the people of Indonesia. He then emphasized that they are all brothers and appealed to all elements and components of the nation to always maintain unity and togetherness, especially harmony among the leaders of Indonesia.
“All of you, what matters is that we must build and uphold harmony, unity, and kinship among all elements and groups of the Indonesian nation, especially harmony among the leaders of Indonesia. I consider Mas Anies, Mas Muhaimin, Mas Ganjar, Prof Mahfud as my own brothers. We fight for Indonesia, we fight out of our love for the people of Indonesia,” he said.
Prabowo also thanked the leaders of Indonesia, from the 1st to the 7th president of Indonesia. All the leaders of Indonesia, he added, are the best sons and daughters of the nation who have preserved this country.
“We thank all the leaders of Indonesia, all the presidents of Indonesia, Bung Karno, Pak Harto, Pak Habibie, Gus Dur, Ibu Megawati, Pak SBY and Pak Joko Widodo. They are the best sons and daughters of Indonesia,” Prabowo said.
In line with what has been done by the leaders of Indonesia, Prabowo then committed to continuing this struggle and becoming a leader for all the people of Indonesia. Together with his team, Prabowo is determined to eradicate poverty, hunger, corruption, and malnutrition in Indonesia.
“If Prabowo-Gibran and the Indonesian Forward Coalition, with the permission of God Almighty, accept the mandate from the people, we will become national leaders for all the people of Indonesia. I will be a president for all the people of Indonesia, including those who did not vote for me, including those who do not believe in me. I will fight for all the people of Indonesia,” he concluded.
