1Berita News – President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) congratulated presidential candidate number 2, Prabowo Subianto, on his victory in the quick count results of the 2024 Presidential Election.

Jokowi admitted to meeting Prabowo on Wednesday evening (14/2). In this presidential election, Prabowo is paired with Jokowi’s eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

“Yes, congratulations, congratulations. We met, we met directly,” said Jokowi after opening the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) at JI Expo Kemayoran, Jakarta, on Thursday (15/2).

Jokowi also revealed that four people attended the meeting, but he refused to disclose who they were.

“Well, I don’t need to mention,” he said.

On the other hand, Jokowi also stated that the quick count results are a scientific counting method that has been conducted several times in every democratic event.

However, Jokowi still urged the public to wait for the official results from the General Election Commission (KPU).

“The results of the quick count are a scientific counting method. But regardless, we have to wait for the official results from the KPU,” said Jokowi.

The KPU has previously released the real count results of the 2024 Elections through its official website.
