Assalamu warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

I Ahmad Mustafa Bisri
Brothers and sisters wherever you are
Let us choose, (and) support presidential and vice presidential candidates whom we choose, believe

But never act excessively

We must remember that the candidates are all sons of Indonesia ...
Who have an interest for the good of Indonesia
Those who support each (presidential and vice presidential candidates pair) are our brothers;
and are our fellow citizens who wish the good for Indonesia in the next five years,
FIVE YEARS ahead, not until doomsday

Let us support our choices by keeping a clear mind
as the citizens of Indonesia who do expect the good for Indonesia
By praying to Allah SWT
May Allah SWT bless what we do

Hopefully thanks to the atmosphere of khusu 'Ramadan,
Allah SWT will prevent us from any excessive behaviors
which are not favored by Allah and His Messenger (PBUH)

Hopefully we can carry out a routine presidential and vice presidential election in peaceful, orderly and safe situations
and we remain as fellow brothers despite whatever happens later

Thank You
Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
