The Central Java KPU declared Luthfi-Taj Yasin the winners with over 11 million votes, while Andika-Hendrar received over 7 million votes.In East Java, PDIP candidate Tri Rismaharini and her running mate Zahrul Azhar Asumta, also known as Gus Hans, filed a lawsuit against the declared winners on December 11, 2024.

“We are asking the Constitutional Court to annul the KPU’s decision declaring Khofifah-Emil the winners,” Talapessy stated.
The KPU,Indonesia’s election commission,has yet to comment on the specific allegations. official results show Khofifah-Emil securing a decisive victory with over 12 million votes, or 58% of the total, compared to Risma-Emil’s 6 million votes.
