Long before the KPU had announced the official results of the 2019 presidential election, Prabowo had repeatedly declared his victory, he had claimed victory with 62 percent of the votes.
This certainly can be likened to playing a song 5 years ago, where the results of Prabowo seemed to have more confidence in his internal survey without trusting the KPU’s manual counting system.
Even the news had circulated that the news of Paslon 02 Prabowo – Sandiaga’s victory in the 2019 Election abroad was not accountable.
KPU commissioner Hasyim Asy’ari said the vote counting abroad was carried out simultaneously with those in the country, even though elections abroad began earlier.
Thus, if there is news about the election votes abroad that have circulated widely in the community, it is news that cannot be justified.
In the news circulating, it appears that the candidate pair 02 is getting extraordinary results, where Jokowi – Maufuf only wins in Papua New Guinea and Taiwan. While in other countries, Prabowo – Password is called a landslide win. Even in the United States Prabowo – Password claimed with a victory of up to 89.9 percent.
In fact, the KPU has ratified several results of the vote recapitulation of the 2019 Presidential Election in Overseas Territories, the KPU has ratified the vote recapitulation from 12 regions abroad and followed 31 regions that have been previously ratified.
The 12 regions include, Kuching, Malaysia; Frankfurt, Germany; Capetown, South Africa; Helsinki, Finland; Penang, Malaysa; Windhoek, Nambia; Prague, Czech; Bucharest; Romania, Harare; Zimbabwe; Minister, Cambodia; Moscow, Russia; and Lima, Peru.
Of the 12 regions, number 1 presidential and vice presidential candidate pair Joko Widodo and Ma’ruf Amin succeeded in winning over Prabowo – Sandiaga.
The candidate number 01 won the 2019 presidential election in the region with 77,468 votes, while Prabowo – Sandiaga was only able to gain 35,843 votes.
In Moscow, for example, Jokowi – Ma’ruf Amin managed to get 404 votes, while Prabowo – Sandiaga received 149 votes. Finally, in Lima Jokowi – Ma’ruf Amin managed to excel with a score of 64 votes. While. Prabowo – Sandiaga only gets 15 votes.
The victory of Jokowo – Ma’ruf Amin in the 12 regions, certainly adds to the length of the row of Jokowi – Maufuf’s victory and successfully dismissed the news about Prabowo’s victory abroad. The Paslon 01 victory was further emphasized by Prabowo’s superiority which was only shown by 5 regions.
With these results, former Danjen Koppasus Prabowo Subianto seems to have to act legowo for the second time after failing in the 2014 and 2019 presidential elections. After the General Election Commission (KPU) announced the official results of the 2019 Presidential Election on May 21, 2019.
Various reactions emerged from Prabowo’s Subianto camp which had already declared Prabowo-Sandiaga’s victory on the basis of an internal BPN survey. Such as rejection and accusations of fraudulent elections that blow hard on social media timeline.
The former Governor of Jakarta gained strong support from predominantly minority regions, such as the tourist island of Bali which has a Hindu majority, and Papua with a large Christian majority and animism.
Overall, Jokowi managed to excel in 21 provinces out of a total of 34 provinces in Indonesia. However, in Aceh Province where sharia law has been implemented, Jokowi – Ma’ruf only gets 14 percent of the vote.
Thus the 02 victory data, of course, obviously fools and makes people think irrationally. Moreover, it became triggering to extend the row of fraudulent narratives fried by ijtima ‘ulama III.
One of the reasons for Jokowi’s victory – Ma’ruf Amin is the voice of young voters, said Bahlil Lahadalia, who said that young voters still chose Jokowi – Ma’ruf Amin, even though the couple 01 had many hoax information and hate speech.
According to Bahlil, young people who are generally critical give more confidence to the Jokowi – Maufuf couple to build Indonesia in the future.
“Pak Jokowi has been proven for almost five years, can develop the economy well, and make Indonesia conducive,” said the Chairman of the HIPMI.
According to him, youth is a smart and rational millennial group. He also felt optimistic that the Jokowi – Maufuf pair would win the 2019 election with a vote of around 55.6 percent.
