Brilio.net - Raffi Ahmad continues to garner public attention. Recently, he was criticized by netizens after uploading a screenshot of Sufmi Dasco Ahmad's tweet announcing the cancellation of the ratification of the revised Pilkada Law. The reason is, in the post, Raffi included the Prabowo-Gibran logo.
The public was furious because the Prabowo-Gibran logo that Raffi included had nothing to do with the cancellation of the revision of the Pilkada Law. The reason is that netizens considered it to be the fruit of the struggle of the people who demonstrated all day and there was not a single bit of effort from Raffi and the logo that was listed. Moreover, when the people were demonstrating, Raffi left for Bandung to accompany Gibran on a field trip.
"THE PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING FOR, WHY ARE YOU USING THE PRABOWO GIBRAN LOGO IF YOU STILL HAVE A HEART, YOU MUST BE SAD SEEING YESTERDAY'S CONDITION," said the @biamomshop account in the comments column, as quoted by brilio.net on Friday (23/8).

After receiving criticism from netizens, finally the figure better known as Sultan Andara spoke up. Moreover, he was also considered not to have voiced his rejection of the Revision of the Pilkada Law. This was conveyed by Raffi Ahmad via his personal Instagram @raffinagita1717.
In his clarification, Nagita Slavina's husband expressed his support for the Constitutional Court's (MK) decision on the Pilkada. He emphasized the importance of respecting and overseeing the MK's decision. Raffi Ahmad also invited the public to voice their opinions wisely, for the sake of the integrity of the Republic of Indonesia and the dignity of democracy.

"Assalamualaikum wr wb, With All Respect to All Indonesian People Regarding the ongoing problems, I personally support, respect and monitor the Constitutional Court's decision," wrote Raffi on the @raffinagita1717 account.
He also continued that he really appreciates the efforts of the people who took to the streets to protest. Because this step is a form of extraordinary support and concern for this nation. Therefore, he also invited them to continue to monitor the Constitutional Court's decision even in their own way.
"I really appreciate the friends who have spoken out on the streets. All of you are extraordinary for your support and concern for the nation we love. Let's continue to speak out and guard this in our own way," he added.
For him, taking to the streets or speaking out on social media is equally good. Basically, all of these methods have the same goal. Namely for the integrity of the Republic of Indonesia and the dignity of democracy.

"Whether by speaking out directly, taking to the streets or through social media, and other good and wise ways without being anarchic and provocative, I am sure that whatever we do has the same goal, namely for the integrity of the Republic of Indonesia and the dignity of democracy," he said.
Despite providing clarification, Sultan Andara still received criticism in the comments column. The public considered that his steps on social media would have no effect. Therefore, many invited him to join them in taking to the streets.
"IF YOU DON'T DARE TO MAKE A SPEECH AND TAKE TO THE STREET, YOU ARE STILL CONSIDERED A SUPPORTER OF THE DYNASTY!!" said the account @hendritjoeaon.
"Instantly, many of the blue ticks disappeared from aa Fafi's comments, leaving Rafi g to politics purely for entertainment," wrote the account @cipungsejati.
"Where were you yesterday? After rumors emerged that they would be boycotted, a clarification immediately emerged. These artists really have to go viral first before they speak up. Hilarious," said the account @raniiandin.
"Popularity is okay, wealth is okay... no need to become a political sycophant," commented the account @silvradin.
