However, he said he was preparing a transition between his government and the next government. So that the transition will be smooth.
"In this way, the president and vice president-elect can work immediately after being sworn into office," Jokowi said.
On the same occasion, Jokowi commented on the process of the 2024 election, which is coming to a close. He said that the dispute over the presidential election results had been resolved by the Constitutional Court (MK), while the dispute over the legislative elections was still in progress.
Jokowi appealed to the public to respect the Constitutional Court's decision. He also said that the General Elections Commission (KPU) had issued an official statement confirming that Prabowo and Gibran were the elected president and vice president.
The KPU issued the statement this morning. The inauguration of Prabowo and Gibran is scheduled for October 2024.
"This means that the president-elect and vice president-elect must prepare themselves with the plans they campaigned on so that they can go to work right after the inauguration," Jokowi said.
