Prabowo Subianto has been officially declared as the President of Indonesia, as announced by the country's Election Commission on Wednesday (March 20). According to reports from the Associated Press, Subianto, who currently serves as the Defense Minister, secured 58.6 percent of the votes in the recent presidential elections.

Following the announcement of his victory, Subianto addressed his supporters, calling for unity and collective focus on the nation's future. However, the declaration of Subianto's win was met with protests from supporters of the opposing parties, who gathered around the Election Commission area. Reports indicate that the protests escalated into violence, with demonstrators setting fires.

To maintain public order and prevent further unrest, authorities deployed 5,000 police personnel in the capital city of Jakarta. The heightened security measures were implemented amid concerns over potential violence stemming from the protests.

Indonesia, renowned as one of the world's largest democracies, conducted presidential elections last month, with Subianto emerging victorious in the preliminary results released by the Boothferat. However, Subianto's triumph has been met with allegations of irregularities and corruption by his rivals, prompting them to vow legal challenges in court.

As Indonesia prepares for the transition of power to its newly elected president, the nation grapples with the aftermath of contentious elections and the need to address concerns raised by opposing parties. The outcome of the legal proceedings initiated by Subianto's rivals will likely shape the political landscape in the days ahead.
