Dream - Economist from the University of Indonesia (UI), Vid Adrison, revealed that the vote acquisition of the Prabowo-Gibran pair in the 2024 Presidential Election was greatly influenced by social assistance and President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) support. Vid conveyed this information while serving as an expert witness in the dispute hearing of the 2024 Presidential Election at the Constitutional Court (MK), Monday, April 1, 2024.

Vid mentioned that Prabowo-Gibran received an additional 26 million votes due to Jokowi's support and the distribution of social assistance. "By considering the total number of registered voters, per province, and the additional support obtained from the president's endorsement and social assistance, it is estimated that there are around 26,615,945 additional votes," said Vid.

"He then reduced the voice acquisition by 26 million votes which he considered as additional support from Jokowi to Prabowo. According to him, without Jokowi's support and social assistance, Prabowo-Gibran received 69,598,746 or 42.38 percent of the votes out of a total of 164,227,475 registered voters."

"He mentioned that it is similar to the results of the Charta Politika survey for the period of 4-11 January, which mentioned that the Prabowo-Gibran vote was at 42 percent. 'So the approximate vote count for 02 is 42.38 percent, which is close to the Charta Politika survey for 4-11 January 2024, which is 42.20 percent,' he said."

"Vid explained that Jokowi visited 30 regencies/cities from October 22, 2023, to February 1, 2024, and provided 44 social assistance programs (bansos). According to him, 50 percent of the visited areas were in Central Java. 'With a total aid of approximately Rp347.2 billion,' said Vid."
