The presidential and vice presidential candidate pair Megawati Soekarnoputri-Prabowo Subianto, registered themselves as the presidential and vice presidential candidate at the Jakarta General Election Commission office on Saturday, May 16, 2009. Prabowo Subianto was officially declared as the winner of the 2024 Presidential Election by the KPU, while PDI-P led by Megawati once again obtained the most votes in the 2024 legislative election.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS - Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka obtained the most votes in the 2024 Presidential Election based on the results of the plenary meeting to establish election vote counts by the Election Commission in Jakarta, on Wednesday (20/3/2024). With the outcome determined by the KPU at the designated time, Prabowo called on the public to unite once again as the challenges that the nation must face in the future are still significant.

Regarding the legislative elections (pileg), PDI-P is the party with the highest number of votes, followed by Golkar in second place, and Gerindra in third place. With this outcome, PDI-P, led by Megawati Soekarnoputri, has successfully become the party with the highest votes in the election for three consecutive times: the 2014, 2019, and now the current election.

The results of the presidential election or the vote results of the political parties are not much different from the results of the Kompas R&D quick count on February 14. The results of the Kompas Research and Development quick count at that time, Prabowo-Gibran won 58.47 percent of the vote, Anies-Muhaimin won 25.23 percent, and Ganjar-Mahfud 16.30 percent. Thus, the average difference between the results determined by the KPU and the results of the Kompas R&D quick count for the presidential election is 0.19 percent. Meanwhile, the average difference for legislative elections is 0.14 percent.

Based on the results announced by the Indonesian Electoral Commission (KPU), there are eight parties that will secure seats in the Indonesian Parliament (DPR RI). These parties are PDI-P, Golkar, Gerindra, the National Awakening Party, the Nasdem Party, the Prosperous Justice Party, the Democratic Party, and the National Mandate Party.

Back together

Prabowo, at his residence in Jakarta, expressed his gratitude to the people who exercised their voting rights in the election. He also thanked the election organizers, the TNI/Polri, and the political parties that supported him. "The election that we have carried out has been recognized by the world, which has been conveyed to me by many heads of state. They are very impressed with the smoothness of the election," he said.

After the announcement of the election results by KPU, Prabowo called on the people to unite and look forward together. This is important because the challenges facing the nation are still immense. "We must unite, be peaceful, collaborate to bring the nation towards prosperity and justice. With prosperity, we can bring justice to all the people," he added.

Prabowo also invites [everyone] to strengthen the spirit of nationality and togetherness. If there are differences, they must be valued and respected. "But after differences of opinion, we must seek unity, a shared determination," he added.

He and Gibran also promised to work as optimally as possible, especially to realize the programs that have been promised during the campaign.

Multiple exposure when the General Chairman of PDI-P Megawati Soekarnoputri attended the grand campaign of presidential and vice-presidential candidates, Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD, at the Main Stadium of Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta, on Saturday (3/2/2024).

Meanwhile, PDI-P DPP Chairman Komarudin Watubun said that in the 2024 presidential election, PDI-P would not support Prabowo-Gibran. If you look at the consequences of this choice, ideally in the 2024-2029 government PDI-P should be outside the government. "Yes, ideally tomorrow we should still be outside the government," he said.

After the announcement of the election results, the Chairman of the Election Commission (KPU), Hasyim Asy'ari, stated that gradually, the commission will continue their activities to determine the allocation of seats in the parliament, elected members of the legislative branch, and elected presidential and vice presidential candidates. "This activity will start after we receive confirmation from the Constitutional Court (MK) regarding any cases that are registered for election disputes," said Hasyim.

Prepare a lawsuit

Based on the election results determined by the KPU, Anies Baswedan said he would file a lawsuit against the election results to the Constitutional Court. He and Muhaimin took this step because they did not want the various irregularities they saw occurring during the election to pass without record and set a bad precedent for all future election holdings. "The step we are taking is not to get angry and agitate the public, but our step is to collect all the evidence to be brought before the judge," he said in a written statement.

The Ganjar-Mahfud pair will also take steps regarding the election results determined by the Election Commission. Today, Ganjar and Mahfud promised to explain this. According to Ganjar at the National Campaign Team's headquarters for Ganjar-Mahfud in Jakarta, they are ready to prove allegations of election fraud that occurred. "We have prepared many things. Our legal team is also ready," he said.

The atmosphere at the dispute reporting service desk was palpable during the Simulated Registration of Election Dispute Complaints at the Constitutional Court in Jakarta on Wednesday (6/3/2024).

Apart from the presidential and vice-presidential candidates, political parties are also preparing to file a lawsuit to the Constitutional Court. This seems to be taken by the United Development Party (PPP).

Chairman of PPP's Central Executive Board, Achmad Baidowi, stated that this measure will be taken because there is a significant difference between the tiered recapitulation results conducted internally by the party and the results determined by the KPU. The internal recapitulation shows that PPP's vote acquisition reaches 4.04 percent, therefore it should pass the parliamentary threshold. However, the election results determined by the KPU show that PPP did not pass the parliamentary threshold.

At the Constitutional Court Building in Jakarta, preparations are in place to receive registration for disputes over the results of the general election (PHPU). The Constitutional Court has opened PHPU registration as soon as the General Election Commission (KPU) finalizes the national vote recapitulation results. The registration period is open for 3 x 24 hours.
