Indonesian President Elections 2014

Today is a big day for Indonesian Democracy. This is the day when we elected our President for 2014-2019. Since i travel to Indonesia every summer i finally witness myself the atmosphere of democracy. This elections is really exciting and very creative among all other election in the past. If you google there's a tons of informacy since social media is envolve such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, blog etc, is just like i predict in my blog post in March 2014.

There are only 2 candidate, 1st is Prabowo (President Candidate no.1) and 2nd is Jokowi (President Candidate no 2). Both parties has come out different campaign Prabowo with Indonesia Bersatu and Jokowi with Indonesia Hebat. 
Jokowi majority since it's full of young talents, the campaign full of the original song, catch phrase and reminds me about Obama campaign back in 2008. And futher more most of these young talents, is willingly, without pay to make song, phamplete and donate. Again mimicking or inspire by Obama campaign too. 
Prabowo, this 1st candidate is a long standing opposition that been several time entering this kind of election. His track record i think since 2008 (sorry for my lack of knowledge on for this candidate). For the first time too we actually have a presidental debate for 5 times. This is a very rare opportunites, to get to know each candidate programs and missions. I'm so happy for this debate hoping these debate will be a new begining of new era of democracy in Indonesia.

This morning my parents, me and my sister together with my brother inlaws goes to vote at the near by  election place.





As i write this blog, the announcement has not yet been made for which one is been elected. Because both parties said from the quick count both of them wins the election. The margin between the two is so narrow, so we have to wait until the 20th for the official tally. I just pray for who ever wins this election will bring brighter future for our Indonesian Democracy. #HIDUPINDONESIA
