Historic election year in Indonesia: political change, a path to the future
JAKARTA, December 25 – The year 2024 marked great progress in Indonesia's democratic journey, when the country held presidential, legislative and regional elections simultaneously for the first time since the end of the New Order era.
The highlight of the year was Prabowo Subianto's victory as Indonesia's eighth president, following his third attempt at the country's highest office.
The Gerindra Party leader and his partner Gibran Rakabuming Raka won an impressive victory on February 14 by winning 58.6 percent of the vote in a single round.
In this fierce competition, they beat other candidates like Anies Baswedan with Muhaimin Iskandar (24.9 percent) and Ganjar Pranowo with Mahfud MD (16.5 percent).
Prabowo, who is backed by a coalition of 10 political parties, the Indonesian Advanced Coalition (KIM), officially took over on October 20, replacing two-term President Joko Widodo, affectionately known as Jokowi.
As president, Prabowo introduced the “Red and White Cabinet”, the largest ministerial formation since the Reform era.
It consists of seven coordinating ministers, 41 ministers, 13 heads of ministerial agencies and 56 deputy ministers. A total of 17 ministers from the Jokowi administration were retained.
In the parliamentary elections, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) led by Megawati Sukarnoputri remained the largest party outside the KIM coalition by winning 110 of the 580 seats in the House of Representatives (DPR).
Golkar won 102 seats, followed by Gerindra with 86, Nasdem with 69, the National Awakening Party (PKB) with 68, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) with 53, the National Mandate Party with 48 and the Democrats with 44, controlling almost 80 percent of the DPR seats.
On November 27, regional elections were held simultaneously in 37 provinces, 93 cities and 415 districts, with 103 pairs of gubernatorial candidates, 284 pairs of mayoral candidates and 1,168 pairs of district candidates.
KIM Plus-backed candidates won in key regions such as West Java and East Java, defeating PDI-P candidates.
However, in Jakarta, PDI-P candidates Pramono Anung and Rano Karno won the elections with 50.07 percent of the votes in the first round.
On December 16, the PDI-P announced the dismissal of important figures, including Jokowi, his son Gibran and his son-in-law Bobby Nasution.
This dismissal would be postponed until after the regional elections to avoid negative reactions from the palace and Jokowi himself.
Jokowi, who supported Prabowo and Gibran's decision to run for vice president under another party, became the reason for their dismissal, while Bobby ran for governor of North Sumatra under KIM More.
Charting the way forward, Prabowo promised to fight poverty, ensure food and energy security, and continue Jokowi's economic policies such as downstream industries.
Early in his term, he focused on fighting corruption, launching a free school meals program, supporting infrastructure projects such as Nusantara, modernizing defense and supporting Palestinian independence.
Indonesia is the world's third-largest democracy in terms of voter turnout, after India and the United States, with almost 30 percent of its 282 million people being young people. -BERNAMA
