TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The X account [archive] circulated a screenshot from the news outlet Suara.com, featuring a sensational headline: “Geger! Anies Baswedan Serukan "Gulingkan Prabowo": Dinasihati Nggak Bisa, Bisanya Hanya Dijatuhkan” which literally translates into "Commotion! Anies Baswedan Calls to 'Overthrow Prabowo': Advice Doesn't Work, Just Bring Him Down."
Along with the title, the image displays a photo of former Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan. The caption claims the report was published on Sunday, April 5, 2026, at 11:51 p.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB) by journalist Bangun Santoso.
However, did Suara.com truly report that Anies Baswedan made a statement about overthrowing Prabowo?
FACT CHECK
Tempo verified the content using reverse image searches and credible media reports. The investigation revealed that the news screenshot and the accompanying photo were altered by an irresponsible party.
The title was edited from an original Suara.com article published on April 5, 2026, which actually read: “Geger! Saiful Mujani Serukan 'Gulingkan Prabowo': Dinasihati Nggak Bisa, Bisanya Hanya Dijatuhkan.”
Saiful Mujani made those remarks at a Halal Bihalal gathering titled "Sebelum Pengamat Ditertibkan," which means "Before Observers Are Disciplined," in Utan Kayu, East Jakarta, on March 31, 2026. A video of his speech went viral after being posted by the Instagram account @leveenia and the YouTube channel Sociocorner.
The original article featured a photo of Saiful Mujani set against an orange background with the "NET" logo. That specific image of Saiful had been previously uploaded by Saifulmujani.com on September 4, 2019.
In the manipulated version, Saiful’s image was swapped for a photo of Anies Baswedan. In addition to this version, other posts swapped the details to feature Joko Widodo instead, such as the one shared by the X account LaminoTea.
CONCLUSION
Tempo's verification concludes that the report claiming Suara.com documented Anies seeking to oust Prabowo is false.
