JAKARTA, KOMPAS — General Chairman of the Fellowship of Churches in Indonesia or PGI Gomar Gultom asked the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka couple to embrace society and all elements of the nation which had been divided due to different choices in the 2024 Presidential Election. In this way, the polarization resulting from the presidential election will end and we can now re-knit bonds of brotherhood as fellow citizens of the nation.
When contacted on Tuesday (23/4/2024) in Jakarta, Gomar Gultom stated that the task of the future president and vice president will not be easy due to the socio-economic turmoil caused by the current global unrest. Therefore, it is necessary to work together and collaborate in building the nation.
"I congratulate Mr. Prabowo Subianto and Mr. Gibran Rakabuming Raka on being elected President and Vice President. I also urge them to embrace the community and all elements of the nation, who were divided due to different choices," said Gomar.
I congratulate Mr. Prabowo Subianto and Mr. Gibran Rakabuming Raka on their election as President and Vice President. I also urge them to embrace the community and all elements of the nation, which were divided due to different choices.
Requested to comply
All parties are also requested to comply with the Constitutional Court's decision regarding the dispute over the presidential election results, which was announced on Monday (22/4/2024). The decision is a final and binding constitutional solution to end the dispute over the presidential election results filed by the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD pairs.
He calls on all elements of the community to fully support Prabowo's leadership as the elected president, regardless of party background or political choices. The people have made their choice and the Prabowo-Gibran pair has obtained legal strength. It's time to respect the people's choice with a spirit of democracy. Only through togetherness and mutual support for one another, can we build a better country in the future.
"I hope the elected president and vice president will truly embrace and become president and vice president to all people, both supporters and non-supporters during the presidential election. Therefore, I pray that both of these gentlemen, along with their future cabinet, will always manage our government with unity and harmony moving forward," said Gomar Gultom.

Appreciation of Anies and Ganjar
With the decision of the Constitutional Court, he also urged an end to polarization resulting from the presidential election. Now is the time to knit back together the bonds of brotherhood among fellow citizens. Gomar Gultom also highly appreciated Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD who also accepted the Constitutional Court's decision. The attitude of both pairs of candidates also calmed their supporters to unite in building this country under the leadership of the elected president.
I also appreciate the attitude of the other candidate pairs who have brought all their objections through the Constitutional Court, in accordance with the path provided by our election regulations. This is in line with a democratic attitude that does not bring it to the broader public, which could cause social unrest.
"I also appreciate the attitude of the other two pairs for bringing all of their objections through the Constitutional Court in accordance with the pathway prepared by our electoral regulations. This is in line with a democratic attitude that does not bring it to the masses that could cause social unrest," he said.
High appreciation was also given by PP Muhammadiyah to Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD who had accepted the MK's decision. Both presidential and vice presidential candidates showed maturity and chivalry. In fact, the attitude of these elites can influence the psychology of their respective supporters to move on and look to the future.
"Of course, the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) cannot satisfy all parties. However, for the sake of the nation's interests, all parties should be willing and give the opportunity to the elected presidential and vice-presidential couple, Mr. Prabowo and Mr. Gibran, to lead the country in accordance with the constitution, vision, mission, and programs that have been conveyed during the campaign period," said the General Secretary of the Central Leadership of Muhammadiyah, Abdul Mu'ti.
Muhammadiyah invites all groups of the community to be loyal to Prabowo-Gibran. Even though they were on different sides during the presidential election, the entire society must come together to support and oversee the new government that will be formed after the inauguration on October 20, 2024 (Kompas.id, 23/4/2024).
