Indonesia’s electoral commission officially declared Prabowo Subianto as president-elect following a court ruling rejecting appeals from rival candidates. Mr. Subianto won the election with 58.6% of the votes, facing allegations of fraud and state interference from his rivals. The formal declaration ceremony took place with heightened security measures, where Mr. Subianto and his vice president-elect Gibran Rakabuming Raka greeted supporters.
Mr. Subianto emphasized the need for political leaders to collaborate for the welfare of the people, promising to work towards eliminating poverty and corruption in Indonesia. He is set to take office in October, succeeding President Joko Widodo.
