Purwokerto, C Java (Antara Babel) - The Central Java success team of Prabowo-Hatta Rajasa presidential and vice presidential pair said it was natural if black campaigns emerged in the run-up to the July 9 presidential race.
"It is natural for supporters of both sides to launch black campaigns against each other, though such a campaign will not provide education. Possibly they think it is part of the good way to convince their constituents," Central Java success team chairman of Prabowo-Hatta duo Winu Suhardono said here on Sunday.
Therefore, he was not too concerned to see the many black campaigns being launched against Prabowo Subianto because the attack would adversely raise the rating of the presidential candidate.
However, he questioned why the black campaign against Prabowo was raised now when he was named a presidential candidate.
"Why was black campaign not raised when he was a presidential candidate of Megawati Soekarnoputri five years ago?" he questioned.
The black campaigns were now launched against him as he was now a presidential candidate, he added.
