The inauguration of Prabowo Subianto as the eighth president of Indonesia will be held on Sunday, 20 October 2024, at the Parliamentary Complex in Jakarta.[1][2] This inauguration will mark the start of the five-year term of Prabowo Subianto as president and Gibran Rakabuming as vice president.
Prabowo–Gibran ticket won the 2024 presidential election with 58.59% of the vote against two of their opponents, Anies–Muhaimin and Ganjar–Mahfud.

Context
[edit]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]
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 on 13 October 2024 at the Mobile Brigade Corps Headquarters in West Java to prepare for securing the inauguration event, involving 15,000 personnel.[8] On the day of the inauguration, the police will deploy 7,000 personnel.[9] Additionally, the police 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.[10]
