Apart from placing the president's confidants, the Palace also put pressure on many village heads to win the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair number 2. Zainal Arifin Mochtar said that village heads are an important factor in the election, because they have 4 authorities that have the potential to be misused, namely regarding voter data, use of village funds, data on social assistance recipients, and authority in the allocation of social assistance. The coalition ministers are also competing to campaign for the Prabowo-Gibran pair to each region, for the president's ambition of one round. All of these frauds are reviewed in full in the documentary film dirty vote.
Politicization of Social Assistance and Swelling Budgets
In the documentary film dirty vote, Bivitri Safitri presents a diagram of the social assistance budget throughout 2014 to 2024. As a result, the social assistance budget consistently increased ahead of the elections in 2014, 2019, and 2024. The highest increase occurred in the era of President Jokowi, where in January 2024 alone, the government has disbursed funds of more than 78.06 trillion rupiah just to distribute social assistance massively to the community.
It is easy to guess President Jokowi's political tendency in the distribution of social assistance at the beginning of this year. The narrative 'social assistance from Jokowi' with the words 'assistance from the President of the Republic of Indonesia' clearly displayed on the social assistance packaging bag, provides clarity of the personification of assistance social to create a good image of President Jokowi and his coalition, to gather as much voter sympathy as possible from the lower middle class.
Ethical Violations and Defects in the Constitutional Court's Decision
The flawed Constitutional Court decision number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 which passed Gibran's political path as a vice presidential candidate accompanying Prabowo Subianto was also discussed in this documentary film. The three experts constitutional law in the documentary film dirty vote discuss in detail and dismantle how the process of the Constitutional Court's decision was designed in such a way as a red carpet for the crown prince. The intervention of the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Anwar Usman, who is Gibran's uncle, in the decision seemed to be a black mark left by Jokowi at the end of his leadership as the number one person in this republic.
There are still many frauds that inPresident Jokowi committed in the 2024 election which were discussed in depth in the documentary film dirty vote, starting from efforts to pass political parties such as PKN, Partai Umat and Partai Gelora to become antitheses and break the voting period of opposition coalition parties. This film describes in detail how the thirst for power destroys the positive stigma of the president that he has built so far.
