One clip shows a huge crowd and a street parade, the other clip shows a packed auditorium of people cheering. The parade to welcome Mr. Prabowo in Bandung. There is no single media reported this event, the caption of the post, which has been shared 63,000 times, says. Screenshot of the misleading post. Subianto is the sole challenger of incumbent president Joko Widodo in Indonesia’s April elections. According to a keyframes analysis using digital verification tool InVid, AFP found that the videos do show Subianto’s political activities. But they do not show a parade of his supporters in Bandung. The first video combines two clips showing the same event, a walk held by Subianto’s party Gerindra in the Indonesian capital Jakarta in 2017 as part of its campaign for Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan’s election bid that year. The first section of the first video has been taken from this clip posted by Gerindra politician Sufmi Dasco Ahmad showing the Jakarta walk on the city’s Asia Afrika Street on Sunday, April 9, which some 65,000 volunteers attended. The event featured the Canka Garuda Yaksa drum band group and was also attended by Mr. Prabowo Subianto, the post says. The first video starts from 0:37 minute of Ahmad’s Facebook clip.
