The Constitutional Court’s verification comes two weeks after the Constitutional Court resolved all election issues by settling all claims against both losing candidates who sought a re-run of the national election and the dismissal of Prabowo and his running mate.
In his statement, Prabowo vowed to ending poverty and corruption, adding he intends to bring development to all Indonesians.
He even said a free press was critical in Indonesia, describing it as” the absolute necessity for democracy”.
Partnership TALKS
Although his top aides claim that he intends to expand his coalition to include the majority of the parliament’s seats, Defence Minister Prabowo’s current alliance currently holds 48 % of the seats.
Prabowo has met with organizations outside his coalition since the election, including NasDem leaders and the PKB, which have backed the presidential campaign of Anies Baswedan, one of the losing prospects and former governor of Jakarta.
A lot partnership for Prabowo may be formed with the help of either party, similar to Jokowi’s present governing coalition, which is made up of eight out of the nine parties in parliament.
PDIP, which supported the various losing member, Ganjar Pranowo, may be the biggest party in parliament following the election.
Prabowo’s Gerinda group, the second largest party in parliament following the election, said on Monday he intends to join PDIP’s key Megawati Sukarnoputri.
Jokowi’s support for Prabowo was widely seen as a president’s decision to maintain political influence and keep his reputation, according to PDIP, which announced this week that he was no longer one of its users.
