Prabowo jokes he may be bugged at NasDem anniversary

President Prabowo Subianto joked about being bugged during a speech in Jakarta on Wednesday.

He was attending the 15th anniversary celebration of the NasDem party.

Prabowo said recent days had been full of political developments, then quipped that he might be under surveillance at the venue.

The audience responded with cheers and applause.

His remark came amid claims that four senior police officers, including former police chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo, had bugged him; the claims were described as allegations.

The country is also facing political tension over reports that Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka had offered to resign after court rulings concerning his education records from the 2024 election.

The account did not say what would happen next with these issues.
