Bandung- Candidate for president number 2, Prabowo Subianto greeted tens of thousands of people during his visit to the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api (GLBA) Stadium, Bandung, Thursday (8/2).
The public was already filling the stadium and waiting for the Prabowo-Gibran’s arrival since 12.00 PM. Not only from Bandung, a number of residents also came from various other regions in West Java.
Prabowo arrived in the late afternoon, shortly after his running mate Gibran Rakabuming Raka. He was welcomed enthusiastically by the residents wearing various attributes and party flags. They, consisting of parents to young people, remained faithful to wait for Prabowo even though they were hit by heavy rain.
Upon arriving on stage, Prabowo shook hands with the crowded residents around the stage. Some also took the opportunity to capture the moment.
The cries of “Prabowo” echoed and the event became more lively with the song ‘Oke Gas, Prabowo-Gibran Paling Pas’ and several other songs.
“Prabowo! Prabowo! Prabowo!” the crowd shouted.
“One more round, Sir!”
Prabowo admitted that the reception from the tens of residents was extraordinary. He was amazed and thanked his supporters for waiting in the midst of the rain.
“Thank you extraordinary brothers and sisters for the amazing reception given to me and my entourage today,” said Prabowo.
“Extraordinary, extraordinary, people of West Java. You have been waiting for hours in the pouring rain. You didn’t move, didn’t budge, extraordinary. Thank you. I apologize for being a little late because I was blocked from entering, amazing, I apologize,” he added.
