Circulating the upload of a tabulated photo of the votes acquired by the candidate pair for Governor-Deputy Governor of Jakarta which is claimed to be the real count of the DKI Jakarta General Election Commission (KPU) on social media. However, the DKI KPU confirmed that the upload was a hoax.

In the upload, it was stated that the pair number 1 Ridwan Kamil-Suswono received 42.02 percent of the votes, pair number 2 pair Dharma Pongrekun-Kun Wardana 10.49 percent of the votes.

Meanwhile, pair number 3 Pramono Anung-Rano Karno received 47.49 percent of the votes. The upload also wrote a narrative that the votes were the result of a real count. There is also the DKI Jakarta KPU logo on the top left side.

In the upload, it is stated that the narrative that the Jakarta Pilkada will take place in two rounds because no candidate pair has received more than 50 percent of the votes.

"Fix two rounds, second round 25 February 2025," wrote the narrative in the upload, quoted Monday, December 2.

Responding to this, DKI Jakarta KPU member Astri Megatari emphasized that the upload was not true. The DKI KPU, he emphasized, has not yet issued the results of the calculation of the Pilkada in real stages.

This is because the process of calculating and recapitulating votes is determined in stages, starting from the level of polling stations, sub-districts, districts/cities, to provinces.

Therefore, Astri asked the public to wait for the official results of the recapitulation of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Election which will be issued by the KPU.

"We have posted it as disinformation content (false information that was deliberately spread to deceive), because the content uses the DKI Jakarta KPU logo. Meanwhile, we have not announced the results at the provincial level," Astri said when contacted.
