APRIL 22, 2019

jakarta. Amid the absurdity surrounding the fallout from the 2019 presidential election, some Indonesians have been reacting with what they know best: humor.

Videos are circulating on social media, showing several people lining up and saluting a man or woman in clear parodies of a similar scene involving presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto and his supporters.

Prabowo is trailing the incumbent, President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo in both quick-count results by pollsters and the ongoing official count by the General Elections Commission (KPU). But this has not prevented the former Army general from declaring victory several times since the April 17 election and rallying his supporters to disregard any results showing otherwise.

Last week, a video showing Prabowo's followers lining up and each saluting him in turn while uttering the phrase, "siap presiden!" ("aye, president!") started doing the rounds on social media.
