NINO CITRA ANUGRAHANTO UNTUK KOMPAS

The Constitutional Court (MK) rejected all arguments that the Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno camp put forth during the 2019 election dispute. Officially, Joko “Jokowi” Widodo and Ma’ruf Amin will be the president and vice president, respectively, of the Republic of Indonesia for the 2019-2024 term.

In his press statement, Prabowo expressed his respect for the MK\'s decision. However, he still opened the possibility of taking another constitutional path. Among his supporters, the reaction varied. A part of them chose to move on; some are unmoved. They are firm with their belief that the winner of the presidential election had cheated. The accusation of fraud was raised from the beginning of the campaign period with various arguments. This narrative also became the driving force for some supporters of presidential and vice-presidential candidate pair number 02 to carry out various protests against the result of the presidential election, which led to riots in May.
