Winner deserves support

From Koran Tempo

The nation's first direct presidential election has taken place and the two top finishers will take part in an upcoming runoff unless one of the candidates can secure a simple majority.

This direct election has been a valuable experience for the entire country to make further progress in democracy and politics. The public received a political education during the election campaign. With greater awareness, people will no longer be easy targets for politicians, but will instead be smart enough to elect good leaders.

The orderly, safe and smooth July 5 presidential election was also part of our political education. In this way, election results can be better guaranteed because illegal practices have been minimized.

Consequently, whichever candidate eventually wins the presidential election should be supported by all of us so they can perform their duties for the betterment of the nation.
