Record-Breaking Victory

The triumph of the Prabowo-Gibran ticket is impressive, going beyond the ballot counts of previous Indonesian presidents and even various other autonomous leaders worldwide. This achievement mirrors the duo’s widespread support throughout the nation, showcasing a strong mandate from the Indonesian individuals.

According to Senior Researcher at Populi Center, Usep Saepul Ahyar, running in the regional election through the independent path is quite complicated. Moreover, it is challenging to defeat candidates supported by political parties. Independent candidates must have the support of 7.5% of the total Permanent Voter List (DPT). For the Jakarta Regional Election, 618,968 support statements, accompanied by identity cards, are required. “So, independent candidates can’t be instant. They must be well-prepared and organized long in advance, securing network support and obtaining 7.5% from the DPT,” Usep told Liputan6.com on Monday (13/5/2024).

**Pairing Anies-Sohibul in the Jakarta Pilkada is a Blunder** Deputy Secretary General (Wasekjen) of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Syaiful Huda, said that the change in stance by PKS, which initially proposed Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial candidate and then changed to deputy governor for Anies Baswedan, reflects internal confusion within PKS. “The internal confusion among PKS friends, which should have been internal PKS consumption, has been published,” said Huda at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday.

“Technically, I ask KPU friends at the provincial, regency/city levels to always coordinate with local governments, the military, police, prosecutors, and courts, so that in carrying out their work or tasks, the election organizers can work well,” said Hasyim .

The commencement of the Dompu Pilkada was officially started at the Launch Event of the 2024 Dompu Regent and Deputy Regent Election, organized by the Dompu KPUD, on Saturday (25/5/2024) at the City Park, Regent’s Pavilion, after the Isya prayer.

Political observer from the Indonesian Public Opinion Study and Discussion Group (KedaiKopi) Hendri Satrio, also known as Hensat, said that the regional election in Jakarta has never been kind to incumbents. Hensat made this statement in response to the recent emergence of many old figures expected to run again as candidates for governor and deputy governor of Jakarta in 2024. Names like former Jakarta Governor 2014-2017 Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (BTP) or Ahok and former Jakarta Governor 2017-2022 Anies Baswedan have been mentioned as potential candidates for the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election. “There are certainly chances for (Anies and Ahok to win the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election),” Hensat told Liputan6.com on Monday (13/5/2024).

Jakarta KPU member Dody Wijaya stated that four prospective independent candidates did not submit the required support documents by the deadline on Sunday (12/5/2024) at 11:59 PM WIB. “By the end, five had consulted, and only one pair, Dharma Pongrekun and Kun Wardana, submitted the support documents to the Jakarta KPU by the deadline,” said Jakarta KPU member Dody Wijaya on Monday (13/5/2024), according to Antara.

The Importance of the Success

The overwhelming support for Prabowo-Gibran speaks volumes regarding the public’s count on their leadership and vision for Indonesia. This success not only sets a new benchmark for selecting success in Indonesia but likewise puts Prabowo at the center of global democratic leaders in regards to prominent ballot.

Global Context of Electoral Achievements

Contrasting the vote tallies, Prabowo’s triumph outperforms that of numerous worldwide leaders, consisting of Joe Biden of the United States and Narendra Modi of India. This contrast highlights the significant autonomous involvement and political mobilization in Indonesia, a testimony to the dynamic freedom in the nation.

“Meanwhile, party candidates, even if the party can’t always be relied upon in contests, still have the potential to be mobilized. Especially parties like PDI Perjuangan and PKS, whose voters are usually solid in Jakarta,” Usep added.

Dody mentioned that of the four prospective candidates, Noer Fajriansyah did not apply for Silon access and did not submit the support documents. Sudirman Said requested Silon access from the Jakarta KPU but did not submit the support documents by the deadline. Poempida Hidayatullah also requested Silon access but did not submit the support documents. John Muhammad requested Silon access on the last day for submitting the documents but did not submit the support documents. “Thus, by Sunday at 11:59 PM WIB, only one prospective independent candidate pair submitted the documents, which we will now verify to determine if they meet the initial requirements,” Dody stated.
