Jakarta – Thousands of lawyers from the Indonesian Advocates Alliance gathered to declare their support for candidate number 2, Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka. The declaration event was held at Balai Kartini Building and was directly attended by Prabowo Subianto on Friday (26/1/2024).
Prabowo, who arrived around 4:25 pm, was greeted by thousands of lawyers with cheers and victory chants.
“Prabowo, Prabowo, president, one round,” they shouted. Prabowo smiled in response to the cheers.
According to the Chairman of the Indonesian Advocates Alliance, Otto Hasibuan, the lawyers who gathered came from various educational backgrounds, including professors, doctors, masters, and bachelor’s degree holders.
“Mr. Prabowo, gathering these lawyers is not easy, usually they would ask how much they will be paid for one hour. But here, they offer themselves, sir. My friends love this country and Mr. Prabowo so much,” said Otto.
Meanwhile, the Secretary General of the Indonesian Advocates Alliance, Dwiyanto Prihartono, said that the lawyers came from 23 provinces, dozens of cities, and regencies.
“Totaling around 40,000 people and they couldn’t all gather here. We have a network in 190 cities offering themselves,” said Dwiyanto.
“It started from small discussions and the formation of an alliance, declaring support for Prabowo. We feel that it’s time for the profession to think about the country, not to engage in politics but to bravely help and contribute ideas for the advancement of the country,” added Dwiyanto.
