Day: February 15, 2024

The party at Prabowo-Gibran camp started Wednesday (Feb 14) afternoon with Prabowo’s long speech. This morning, data from the General Election Commission (KPU) pointed to 55.97% votes for Prabowo-Gibran from 39.33% votes counted nationwide. This is a landslide victory because Prabowo win in almost all provinces, bigger than Jokowi’s victories in 2014 and 2019, among others thanks to huge support from Jokowi and his supporters who believe that Prabowo’s victory is like a ‘third term for Jokowi’.

Apart from the dynamics between political parties, it’s truly worth monitoring the relationship dynamics between President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo and Prabowo Subianto, who based on quick count from all polling agencies wins 2024 race and will become his successor. The dynamics between these two key figures will affect the remaining eight months of Jokowi’s administration and the next administration under Prabowo.

Quick count from all polling agencies, including Litbang Kompas, the research division of Kompas (the largest newspaper in Indonesia), pointed to a landslide victory for Prabowo-Gibran in one round. Ganjar-Mahfud and Anies-Muhaimin, however, have not yet conceded, waiting for the real count from the General Election Commission (KPU). Moreover, Ganjar-Mahfud believes that there is a structured, massive, and systematic fraud in the election.
