About the election

As in the 2019 elections, no party won an outright majority in the 580-member House of Representatives (note 1). The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P, led by former President Megawati Sukarnoputri) came first, winning 110 seats. The Party of Functional Groups (Golkar) and the Great Indonesia Movement (Gerindra, led by former army general and defence minister, Mr. Prabowo Subianto) followed, taking 102 and 86 seats respectively.

In the first round of the presidential elections held in parallel with the parliamentary polls, Gerindra leader Mr. Subianto was elected (note 2), defeating Mr. Anies Baswedan (independent) and Mr. Ganjar Pranowo (PDI-P). Mr. Subianto is due to be sworn in as the new President on 20 October 2024, along with his running mate Mr. Gibran Rakabuming Raka, the eldest son of outgoing President Joko Widodo (PDI-P, see note 3).

The key electoral issues included economic questions, industrial investment, employment, democratic concerns, and the Israel-Palestine conflict. This election in Indonesia was the world’s biggest one-day election of 2024, involving 204.8 million registered voters across the country’s 18,000 islands. A total of 114 out of 5.7 million election workers were reported dead due to conditions related to overwork.

Note 1:
The statutory number of the House of Representatives has increased from 575 to 580 due to the creation of new provinces in the Papua region in 2022, and the re-allocation of seats within the region.

Note 2:
To avoid a run-off election, presidential candidates need to obtain more than 50% of the general vote, and at least 20% of the votes in each of the country's provinces.

Note 3:
The outgoing President was serving his second term of office, and was constitutionally barred from seeking a new term. In October 2023, the Constitutional Court, headed by the outgoing President’s brother-in-law, ruled that candidates who were below the minimum age requirement of 40 may run for the presidency or vice-presidency on condition that they had previously been elected to public office. The ruling paved the way for the 36-year-old Gibran, the mayor of Surakarta, to run for the vice-presidency in 2024.
