Jokowi-Amin ticket won the 2019 election with 55.5% of the popular vote against their only opponent, Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno.[1] After Prabowo's dispute was rejected by the Constitutional Court,[2] the General Elections Commission (KPU) declared the ticket as winner.[3]
Inauguration ceremony
editThe inauguration ceremony was started on 15:30 local time (08:30 UTC), 60 minutes later than scheduled.[4] It was held as a People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) parliamentary session and was led by its speaker Bambang Soesatyo. As the inauguration was held in a Sunday, the assembly decided to push forward the session starting time, which usually held at 10:00 local time. The reasons were to give Christians and Buddhists to attend their respective religious service. It was also intended to not interrupt the weekly car free day held near the venue at the morning to noon with road closures;[5] the car free day event was cancelled anyway.[6]
Unlike the previous inauguration, cultural parades were not held. The event's security involved 31,000 personnel from the Indonesian National Police and the Indonesian National Armed Forces.[7]
