Andre said this responsibility of actively engaging with people in the field is not only tasked to volunteers but also registered support group members and legislative candidate from political parties joining the opposition’s political party coalition.
He claims that the bombardment of hoaxes has been aimed at Prabowo Subianto since Indonesia’s 2009 and 2014 election and said this situation has dropped the presidential hopeful’s electability.
The themes often used as a campaign to discredit Prabowo, he explained, is information suggesting him of being an authoritarian, temperamental person, and a severe human right violator. Andre said that these sort slanders are always brought up during an election.
