Bahlil also emphasized that the Prabowo-Gibran duo would not use ‘dawn attack’ as a way to achieve victory. At the same time, he also explained to the public that there is a significant difference between political costs and dawn attacks.
All resources expended to win Prabowo-Gibran are considered political costs. Meanwhile, dawn attacks are often used to describe money received in the morning or a few hours before voting at the polling stations, with the promise of choosing one of the candidate pairs.
“We do not know about dawn attacks. What exists is political cost. I disagree with dawn attacks, we also have to educate the people about the difference between dawn attacks and political costs. Politics is like a soccer game, as long as the final whistle hasn’t blown, we have to run fast. There are players with good stamina and good strategies, and there are also those who don’t,” he explained.
“And once again, I urge all Indonesian people, on February 14th, let’s make the election a success by going to the polling stations and using our voting rights,” Bahlil urged.
