Chairman of the Election Commission, Hasyim Asy’ari who made the announcement on Wednesday maintained that Prabowo and his running mate Gibran Raka had been selected to be the president and vice president.
The result was declared after appeals of two defeated presidential candidates concerning a dispute over presidential polls in February were rejected by the constitutional court.
They will rule from 2024 until 2029, with around 96 million votes, resulting in nearly 59 per cent of the total votes.
