“We were ordered to rally support for the number 01 candidate,” said Sulman at the Lokataru Legal Office. Number 01 candidate refers to Jokowi`s number in the presidential election.

Responding to the allegations, Budi Satria Wiguna strongly denied that he ever ordered it. He said that Sulman’s confession of a forum that was formed by him as a routine meeting to plan police operations and conduct security simulations on the upcoming general elections (Pemilu).

“There was no order, at all, to support any individual,” said Budi Satria who disputed Sulman’s claims as a means to conduct public mapping in relations to police’s Pemilu security efforts.
