Indonesia’s Top Court Upholds Prabowo Subianto’s Presidential Victory

The Constitutional Court dismissed allegations of fraud and state interference, solidifying Prabowo's win in the February election.

Indonesia's Constitutional Court rejected appeals for a revote by losing candidates Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo, affirming Prabowo Subianto's election victory.
The court's 5-3 decision found no legal basis for claims of widespread fraud or state manipulation in favor of Prabowo.
Despite dissenting opinions from three judges, the ruling is final, with no further legal challenges possible against Prabowo's win.
Allegations of nepotism involving Joko Widodo's son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, were dismissed by the court, which found no evidence of presidential interference.
The decision is expected to influence future elections, with concerns about the use of state resources in campaigns remaining a contentious issue.
