The National Bawaslu stated that they will take action after the clarification process by its East Java office is completed, and decide whether or not they will summon and question the Gerindra Party chaiman Prabowo Subianto.

According to La Nyalla, the payment is a requirement to get Gerindra's recommendation to follow the regional head election in East Java.
La Nyalla said that he was required to pay the money before December 20, 2017 or else he would not get a recommendation from Gerindra to run in the election.
