The session was aimed to determine whether BPN will submit an election dispute to Constitutional Court or not. “Pak Prabowo usually holds an internal consolidation,” said Andre when reached on Tuesday, May 21.

The BPN advocacy and legal directorate will also bring up issues about the Gerindra chair being named as the reported party in the alleged treason case implicating PAN politician Eggi Sudjana as noted in the investigation letter (SPDP) of Eggi issued by Jakarta Metro Police.

Additionally, the team will talk about its next steps related to the report sent to the Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu). BPN earlier reported alleged structured, systematic, and massive fraud in the 2019 elections to Bawaslu that then rejected it due to lack of evidence.

Today, May 21, Prabowo arrived in his residence on Jalan Kertanegara, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, at 9:50 a.m. along with Gerindra deputy chair Sugiono.

Several members of BPN have presented at the location are legal and advocacy directorate member Habiburokhman and Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, and campaigner Yusuf Muhammad Martak among others.

KPU has completed the national vote recapitulation of the 2019 general elections. The commission then announced the presidential candidate number 01 Jokowi - Ma’ruf Amin won by over 85 million votes (55.50 percent), while Prabowo - Sandiaga got over 68 million votes (44.50 percent). The total number of valid votes amounted to 154,257,601.
