Suara.com – A number of alumni of the Indonesian Christian University (UKI) expressed support for the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair number 2 Prabowo-Gibran. This support was delivered in front of Prabowo's residence Jalan Kertanegara IV, Kebayoran Baru, South Newsdelivers.com, Friday (2/2/2024) evening.
UKI alumnus and lecturer representative, Sangap Surbakti, revealed that one of the reasons he supports Prabowo-Gibran is because they have the same determination, namely wanting Indonesia to be independent, aka not dependent on foreign parties.
“Why do my friends and I side with Pak Prabowo, because he was the brave one in the Asta Cita program who said he would get rid of foreign dependence, increase education, free health, and include the minimum wage,” said Sangap.
He immediately said that UKI is a campus that has a history of struggle. Starting from the old order to the new order.
Currently, said Sangap, UKI alumni will fight to win Prabowo-Gibran in the 2024 presidential election.
“If all alumni ensure that their right, left, front and rear choose candidate pair 02, then Prabowo-Gibran's victory in the one-round election will be realized,” he said.
Deputy Secretary of the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN), Edi Budiarso, who received support from UKI alumni, hopes that the support from academics will be followed by alumni of other universities.
“Like in Padang, Bandung, fellow students asked Prabowo-Gibran not to betray if they are elected. When the academic world has provided support and the survey results are quite high, we are confident that Prabowo-Gibran will win the 2024 election in one round on February 14,” said Edi.
