Presidential Election Winner

 (KPU) has officially declared Joko the winner of the April 17 presidential election

after completing the national vote tally in the early hours of Tuesday morning.


The final tally showed that

the Jokowi-Ma’ruf pair secured 85 million votes (55.5 percent),

while the Prabowo-Sandiaga pair garnered 68 million votes (44.5 percent).

the losing candidate pair can challenge the election result at the Constitutional Court
within three days of the official announcement of the vote tally.

If there is no legal challenge, the KPU will officially name Jokowi and Ma’ruf duly elected as president and vice president for the 2019-2024 period on Friday.


The Prabowo camp will not accept the election results
citing what they claimed was “structural, systemic and massive” vote-rigging.

 (Bawaslu) rejected their report of election fraud,
saying the Prabowo camp had failed to provide solid evidence.
the Prabowo camp will not bring the election dispute to the Constitutional Court,

it will be “pointless”.
Many of Prabowo’s staunchest supporters, however will take to the streets
to protest the election results, fueling fears of possible violence.   (memicu)
