Presidential elections were held in Indonesia on 14 February 2024 with defence minister and former general Prabowo Subianto contesting the elections against the governor of Jakarta, Anies Baswedan and the governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo; incumbent president Joko Widodo was constitutionally barred from seeking a third term in office.

On 20 March, the General Elections Commission (KPU) announced Prabowo's victory, having received over 96 million votes. Prabowo and his vice-presidential candidate, Gibran Rakabuming, will be sworn in on 20 October 2024.[1]

The presidential election was held together with the legislative election for members of the House of Representatives (DPR RI), the Senate (DPD RI), and local legislative councils (DPRD Provinsi and DPRD Kabupaten or DPRD Kota) throughout Indonesia.

The elevation of Prabowo Subianto to the presidency prompted concerns about scholars and observers about potential democratic backsliding in Indonesia.[2][3][4][5]
