Indonesia – Presidential Election


We congratulate Indonesia on the conclusion of its historic elections this year, including the country's first-ever direct election of its president. The official results will be announced on October 5.

These landmark elections set a strong example for the region and emerging democracies everywhere. As Indonesia's close friend and partner, the United States strongly supports the country's democratic process.
