The inauguration of Prabowo Subianto as the eighth president of Indonesia took place on Sunday, 20 October 2024, at the Parliamentary Complex in Jakarta.[1][2] This inauguration marks the start of the five-year term of Prabowo Subianto as president and Gibran Rakabuming as vice president.

The Prabowo–Gibran ticket won the 2024 presidential election with 58.59% of the vote against two of their opponents, Anies–Muhaimin and Ganjar–Mahfud. At 73 years, 3 days of age on inauguration day, Prabowo became the oldest person to assume Indonesian presidency, while his counterpart, Gibran, became the youngest person to assume Indonesian vice presidency at 37 years, 19 days of age.

Context

[edit]
Main article: 2024 Indonesian presidential election

Prabowo Subianto, Minister of Defense in the Onward Indonesia Cabinet under Joko Widodo, and Gibran Rakabuming, Mayor of Surakarta as well as Widodo's son, won the 2024 presidential election with 58.59% of the vote, defeating Anies–Muhaimin and Ganjar–Mahfud. This marks Prabowo's fourth and final presidential run, following his vice-presidential bid in 2009 and presidential campaigns in 2014 and 2019, which both defeated by Widodo.

There are controversies surrounding Gibran's candidacy, as the Indonesian Constitutional Court made a controversial ruling by allowing him to run as vice president.[3] According to the ruling, candidates under the required age of 40 could seek for presidency or vice-presidency, given a condition that they held elected regional office in the past.[3] As Gibran is a mayor and Widodo's son, speculation arose that the president himself influenced the ruling to further his legacy. Concerns were heightened by the involvement of Widodo's brother-in-law, Anwar Usman, the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court during the ruling.[4]

Planning

[edit]
Prabowo (left) and outgoing Jokowi alongside his wife (right) arrived at Nusantara building, where the inauguration took place.

The location for the inauguration was initially planned to take place in the currently constructed new capital city of the country, Nusantara. Minister of Public Works and Housing, Basuki Hadimuljono, previously stated that the inauguration will take place in Nusantara, same as the 2024 flag-raising ceremony of 17 August.[5] However, on 28 June, deputy speaker of the People's Consultative Assembly, Ahmad Muzani, stated that the inauguration will remain to take place at the Parliamentary Complex in Jakarta.[6][7]

Security

[edit]

The Indonesian National Police held a rehearsal and parade on 13–14 October 2024 at the Mobile Brigade Corps Headquarters in West Java to secure the inauguration event.[8] Additionally, the police also collaborated with the Indonesian National Armed Forces and its service branches, including the Army, Navy, and Air Force, for surveillance, patrols, and VIP protocols during the event.[9] On the inauguration day, the police and the military deployed 115,000 personnel, with 100,000 from the military and 15,000 from the police.[10]

Inaugural events

[edit]

Oaths of office

[edit]
Prabowo and Gibran taking the oaths of office.

Every Indonesian elected president and vice president must recite the oath of office in front of the People's Consultative Assembly. The oath of office is always administered by a cleric (rohaniwan) according to the taker's religion, in Prabowo's and Gibran's cases, by Islamic clerics and sworn under the Quran. Prabowo (and Gibran) recited the following:[11]

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Demi Allah, saya bersumpah: akan memenuhi kewajiban (Wakil) Presiden Republik Indonesia dengan sebaik-baiknya dan seadil-adilnya, memegang teguh Undang-Undang Dasar dan menjalankan segala undang-undang dan peraturannya dengan selurus-lurusnya, serta berbakti kepada nusa dan bangsa. [In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the name of Allah, I swear: to fulfill the obligations of the (Vice) President of the Republic of Indonesia to the best of my ability and as justly as possible, to uphold the Constitution and to implement all of its laws and regulations with utmost integrity, and to serve the nation and the people.]

After the recitation of the oaths of office by both president and vice president, the event was continued by the signing of the minutes (berita acara) regarding the inauguration.[12]

Inaugural address

[edit]

In his inaugural address at the parliament, Prabowo discussed many aspects, starting from corruption, poverty, food and energy self-sufficiency, raw commodity processing (hilirisasi), to Palestinian independence.[12]

Food and energy self-sufficiency

[edit]

Prabowo set a target for his administration to achieve food self-sufficiency (swasembada pangan) and make Indonesia as the world's food basket. He is optimistic that this goal can be achieved within four to five years.[13] Additionally, Prabowo announced that his administration would also pursue energy self-sufficiency (swasembada energi). He believes that the global geopolitical situation makes it crucial for Indonesia to achieve food and energy self-sufficiency.[14]

Palestinian independence

[edit]

Another topic brought by Prabowo on his address is Palestinian independence. He emphasized Indonesia's support for Palestinian independence, citing Indonesia's anti-colonial principles and Indonesia's past history of colonization.[12] Members of parliament then reacted by chanting "free Palestine!"[15] In an earlier address, Speaker of the People's Consultative Assembly, Ahmad Muzani, also expressed hope that Prabowo would continue to advocate for Palestinian independence from Israeli occupation.[16]

Other occurrences

[edit]

Widodo family booed

[edit]

Before the inauguration, some members of parliament clapped and some booed the attending Widodo family—Bobby Nasution, Kahiyang Ayu, and Kaesang Pangarep—when the camera highlighted them on the screen.[17][18] Habiburokhman, a member of House of Representative from Gerindra Party witnessed and stated that the booed came only from several members of the parliament known for being the political rivalries of Joko Widodo.[19]

Standing ovation for Joko Widodo

[edit]

During an inaugural address by the Speaker of People's Consultative Assembly, Ahmad Muzani, all members of parliament spontaneously made a standing ovation and sang Terima Kasih Jokowi (Thank You Jokowi) to appreciate his legacy as president of Indonesia for two terms.[20]
