Budiarti Utami Putri, Jakarta – Presidential hopeful Prabowo Subianto gave his response upon being asked about the latest LSI Denny JA poll result which suggested Prabowo-Sandiaga's electability had taken a dive after Ratna Sarumpaet's hoax case emerged.
"Huh, Denny JA? No thank you. Poll results depend on who financially backs them. That's all thank you," said Prabowo in East Jakarta yesterday.
The Gerindra Party chairman did not stop there and asked the journalists who were present; "Why am I not asked about the movement on consuming milk?" which he just introduced. "Why ask about the Denny JA poll result? Oh my, I would rather not answer that," he quipped.
However, asked upon questions regarding the funds for electoral witnesses in the 2019 General Elections, he agrees that it should be government funded and agrees that they should be paid on a lower wage.
He then [he] suddenly mentioned Denny JA again and maintained that Indonesia does not need 'money democracy' and rhetorically asked; "What is Denny JA? The Gods of pollsters?," said Prabowo.
