Prabowo Claims To Win The Presidential Election With Sujud Syukur In Today's Memory, 17 April 2019

JAKARTA Memori hari ini, lima tahun yang lalu, 17 April 2019, Capres, Prabowo Subianto melakukan prostuk bersyukur dalam rangka klaim kemenangan pada Pilpres. Klaim itu membawa sebuah. Seluruh lembaga survei count cepat justrut menagokan lawannya, Joko Widodo (Jokowi)-Ma'ruf Amin.

Previously, the 2019 presidential election was known as a political contestation full of surprises. Jokowi chose the Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council, Ma'ruf as his Vice Presidential Candidate. Meanwhile, Prabowo is facing a famous businessman, Sandiaga Uno as the Vice Presidential Candidate.

The 2019 presidential election is full of surprises. It may be that the general public does not care about guessing the presidential candidate who will participate in the political contestation of the presidential election. Something that makes you curious is the determination of the vice presidential candidate. The presidential candidate has narrowed to two names.

The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) has chosen Jokowi as its Presidential Candidate. Meanwhile, the Greater Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra) participated in advancing Prabowo. The two camps and their supporting parties are also busy determining the figure who will accompany the presidential candidate.

Jokowi's heavily heard camp will face the former Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK), Mahfud MD as Vice Presidential Candidate. Prabowo's camp did not want to lose. The famous name of the preacher Ustaz Abdul Somad (UAS) is predicted to be a vice presidential candidate.

Khalayak is even more curious. In fact, some people already believe that the candidates for the Vice Presidential Candidate are final. Politics is still political. The dynamics are everywhere. Other candidates actually appeared. The Indonesian people were surprised by the declaration of the presidential and vice presidential pairs.

Jokowi chose Ma'ruf Amin instead. Prabowo also chose Sandiaga Uno because UAS wanted to focus on the da'wah route. This political acrobatic still took Mahfud MD by surprise. In fact, that experience became the most memorable in his life.

"At that time in 2019 I wanted to be vice president but in the end I didn't. Then finally I thought about what God's blessing I had to feel again. At that time I just thought about other people's sacrifices. I want to be vice president, I don't have to be sad, I have to be angry, I don't. Because in the past Bung Karno was already in power, so the 20-year president was brought down.."

"I haven't fallen yet and I haven't lost anything. Bung Karno sacrificed almost during his life for Indonesia to be brought down. Mr. Harto is 32 years old like an unmatched emperor, finally dropped in an instant on May 21, 1998. I haven't been anything, how come I want to get angry. The lesson I take is just fight back," Mahfud MD said on the Podcast which aired on the Cabinet Secretariat website, May 29, 2023.

Surprise is not only present in the matter of determining the Vice Presidential Candidate. A surprising thing also happened when the claim for victory in the 2019 Presidential Election. A series of survey institutions with quick count results from the presidential election began working after the public made a choice to the polling station on April 17, 2019.

The majority of existing survey institutions have championed Jokowi-Ma'ruf against Prabowo-Sandi. The incoming count has reached 80-90 percent. The result said Jokowi-Ma'ruf appeared to be on average 55 percent superior, the remaining Prabowo-Sandi 45 percent.

However, Prabowo rejected the results of the majority of survey institutions. In the evening Prabowo actually claimed victory on Jalan Kertanegara 4, South Jakarta. Prabowo claims himself based on a real count as the winner of the 2019 presidential election with 62 percent of the votes. The claim was followed by a thanksgiving prostration. Even without Sandiaga's presence.

Prabowo's action also brought a stir. Pros and cons have sprung up. Many asked Prabowo to accept defeat. Not a few people also shouted that the 2019 presidential election had a lot of fraud in the field.

"As a Muslim, I want to close by singing takbir and after that prostrate in gratitude. All my friends defended us, the Catholics, Protestants, Hindus, Buddhists, we mostly want to glorify Allah SWT. Based on the real result, our count has won 62 percent," Prabowo said as quoted by the CNN page, April 17, 2019.
