"Check [them] correctly, the ballot box must be empty. Wait until the voting ends," Prabowo said during his political speech at the grand campaign at Benteng Kuto Besak, Palembang, South Sumatra, Tuesday.
According to Prabowo, who is paired with Sandiaga Uno, cheating is very likely to occur if the election process is not supervised by supporters.
"Don't let ghosts vote. There are 150-year-olds who vote (died, red). It's not true," Prabowo said.
For that reason, Prabowo asked his supporters to continue to remain enthusiastic, especially now that there are just eight days to go.
Supporters have been asked to act in cases of fraud.
"Do you want to be cheated?" he asked tens of thousands of sympathizers who were gathered at BKB Palembang.
Prabowo's supporters shouted no in unison.
South Sumatra Province, which is one of Prabowo's winning bases, is targeted to make up 80 percent of the vote in order to cover the lack of support in other provinces.
The Chairperson of the Greater Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) Party also said that currently, the trend of support is continuing to climb.
"We currently have 60 percent, I hope to get 80 per cent of votes from South Sumatra; I ask for help," he said.
Meanwhile, the Chairperson of the Regional Presidential Candidates and Vice-Chancellor Prabowo-Sandiaga, Aswari Rivai, said that the presence of tens of thousands of Prabowo supporters during the grand campaign proves the target is very likely to be achieved.
"This shows the love of the community for Prabowo, his love for change," he said.
According to him, the trend of votes in favor of Prabowo-Sandiaga is continuing to rise, especially since their supporters are known to be militant. In addition, the most important thing is to oversee the 2019 election process in terms of sending witnesses to the polling stations.
