It’s bonkers that Defense Minister Prabowo and his running mate got more than double the votes of the second place getter.

We’ve known for weeks that he’d be the next president and that he’d get just under 60% of the votes but looking at the actual numbers really drove it home.

• Anies-Cak Imin: 40,971,906 votes
• Prabowo-Gibran: 96,214,691 votes
• Ganjar-Mahfud: 27,040,878 votes

In the legislative, PDIP remained the biggest party in parliament but dropped nearly 16% compared to the last election gaining only 16% of the total vote share instead of more than 19% and their main coalition partner, PPP, got booted out completely for failing to gain enough votes.

It’s historic because it’s the first time in my entire lifetime the PPP is not a parliamentary party. They were formed in 1973 as a merger of multiple Islamic parties and remained the only religious party during Soeharto’s 32 year regime. For the next five years, they are gone from the parliament.

Prabowo’s coalition grabbed only 43% of the votes for parliamentary seats meaning there is no outright majority in the parliament, even with party coalition votes, so there’s going to be more negotiations to form parliamentary committees and alliances.
