President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and President-elect Prabowo Subianto showed unity at the Security Ceremony for the upcoming Presidential and Vice Presidential Inauguration, which took place at the Mobile Brigade Corps Headquarters (Mako Brimob), Kelapa Dua, Depok, on Monday (October 14, 2024). Both leaders arrived dressed in similar formal suits with red ties and Brimob berets to display their solidarity.
They were honored by the guard of honor before boarding a Pindad-made All Terrain Assault Vehicle (ATAV), manufactured by Indonesia’s state-owned company, PT Pindad. The two leaders rode together, inspecting the troops while a marching band played and cheered along the route, carefully observing each unit during the review.
The ceremony started with the Indonesian national anthem, Indonesia Raya, followed by Jokowi receiving a formal salute as he stood at the ceremonial podium. Jokowi was awarded the Loka Praja Samrakshana Polri Medal of Honor and was given the honorary title of Brimob citizen during the event. Prabowo was by his side during the presentation of these honors, emphasizing their continued cooperation as the presidential transition approaches.
