Presidential candidate number two, Prabowo Subianto, stated that if President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) were a dictator, then presidential candidate number one, Anies Baswedan, would not have been elected Governor of Jakarta. This statement was made during the first 2024 Presidential Candidate Debate, themed "Governance, Law, Human Rights, Corruption Eradication, Strengthening Democracy, Improvement of Public Services, and Citizen Harmony," held at the KPU office in Central Jakarta on Tuesday, December 12, 2023.

Anies, along with Sandiaga Uno, was elected in the 2017 Jakarta Gubernatorial Election with 57.96% of the total votes cast (5,532,436 votes). This victory surpassed his opponent, Ahok-Djarot, who received 42.04%.

General elections are a cornerstone of democracy. In line with this, Indonesia's Democracy Index (IDI) from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) shows that Jakarta ranks seventh highest in the country. In 2022, the province had an index score of 82.13 out of a possible 100 points.

Jakarta's index score is above the national average of 80.41 points. A higher score indicates a better level of democracy.

The BPS states that the IDI is used as a tool to measure the development of Indonesian democracy, providing a benchmark for formulating political development programs for both the central and regional governments.

The assessment uses three main aspects: freedom, equality, and the capacity of democratic institutions.
