JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) admitted that he had congratulated Prabowo Subianto who was declared the winner in the 2024 presidential election based on the results of the recapitulation by the General Elections Commission (KPU).

No special messages were conveyed because Jokowi believed Prabowo already knew what to do.

"Yes, we have said congratulations by telephone," said Jokowi when met after watching the Indonesian national team match against Vietnam at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta, Thursday, March 21.

When asked by reporters about the hopes and direction to the elected president and vice president in running the government in the future, Jokowi considered Prabowo to be a figure who already knew what was good for Indonesia.

"Ah, there is no need, Pak Prabowo already knows which one is good for this country, I think he already knows," he said.

Congratulations were also conveyed to Gibran, who is his eldest son. "We said congratulations, that's it," Jokowi continued.

As is known, the KPU has named the Prabowo-Gibran pair as winners in the 2024 presidential election. Based on the results of the recapitulation of the KPU, Prabowo-Gibran won 96,214,691 votes, Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar won 40,971,906 votes, and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD won 27,040,878 votes.
