Prabowo Subianto & Sandiaga Salahudin Uno v. General Election Commission

Judgment

Question Presented: Did the General Election Commission (KPU) violate the General Elections Code while conducting the vote count for the 2019 presidential election?

Alleged Acts: The KPU is alleged with systematically, structurally, and massively rigging the election and inflating the incumbent’s tally-which stood at 85 million votes against Prabowo Subianto’s 68 million votes – by around 22 million votes.

Procedural history: Prabowo Subianto and Sandiaga Uno filed a complaint to the Constitutional Court.

Summary: In the lawsuit, Prabowo-Sandiaga not only questioned the KPU’s election result announcement, but also alleged that the official result had been rigged by a dubious final voter list, which included 17.5 million so-called problematic voters, as well as an additional 5.7 million voters on the special voter list. Prabowo-Sandiaga presented a total of 14 witnesses and experts to strengthen the lawsuit. These witnesses gave various testimonies, ranging from millions of alleged invalid ID card numbers to suspected vote-stamping attempts by election workers.

Conclusion: After the Constitutional Court completed its investigation of all witness testimonies, which were broadcasted live on television and online, the Constitutional Court announced its final and binding verdict that Prabowo-Sandiaga’s accusations had been legally incorrect, and thus, all the judges rejected the plea/petition.
