Indonesian Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto emerged victorious in the presidential election, securing 58.6% of the votes. The election results were contested by former governors Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo, who alleged irregularities and vowed to challenge the outcome in court.
The General Election Commission released the official results, prompting Subianto to call for unity and cooperation among the Indonesian people. Despite concerns of potential protests, the election process proceeded relatively peacefully, with voter turnout reaching approximately 80%.
