  • A video has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on Facebook alongside claims it shows President Joko Widodo’s re-election campaign team conceding defeat in Indonesia’s April 17, 2019, election. The claim is false; the video has been doctored from an original news report in which the president's campaign team rejected the opposition candidate’s data about the voting results in two Indonesian provinces. The misleading footage has been shared repeatedly on social media, for example this April 25, 2019, Facebook post, where the clip has been watched 259,000 times and shared more than 10,900 times. Below is a screenshot of the misleading post: Screenshot of the misleading Facebook post The Indonesian-language white text across the video says: Viral video: Jokowi’s TKN Team concedes defeat of Jokowi. Jokowi is Widodo’s popular nickname. TKN references his re-election campaign team. Here is a report by Indonesian news portal Liputan6 on the campaign team. The translated caption of the Facebook post reads: A viral video is spreading, Lukman Edi from Jokowi’s TKN concedes defeat of Jokowi against Prabowo. It has been very clear who lost the election. But the leadership in the candidate 01’s team still insists on remaining in power by misleading the public through the broadcast of quick count results and cheating. Make this video viral. #2019PrabowoIndonesianPresident. 01 is Widodo’s election ballot number. Prabowo is his sole rival in the elections, Prabowo Subianto. Here is the General Elections Commission’s official announcement on the two presidential candidates and their ballot numbers. The claim is false; the video has been doctored from an original news report in which Jokowi's campaign team rejected Prabowo's campaign team's data about the voting results in two Indonesian provinces. AFP did a search on Google of key frames of the misleading footage obtained using digital verification tool InVid. The search found that the misleading clip contains exactly the same footage as this original April 24, 2019, report by Liputan6, headlined: VIDEO: Jokowi’s TKN rejects Prabowo’s BPN real count data. BPN refers to Subianto’s election campaign team. Below is a screenshot of the Liputan6 report: Screenshot of the Liputan6 report The two videos are 42 seconds long, but the misleading clip has added the text Viral video: Jokowi’s TKN Team concedes defeat of Jokowi over the original Liputan6 footage. In both videos, a member of Widodo’s campaign team can be heard saying at the 0:16 mark: We admit that we have lost. But the speaker is referring to Widodo’s losses in two Indonesian provinces, Riau and Bangka Belitung, based on quick count results. As the text across the bottom of the two videos says: For example, the data in the Riau province and Bangka Belitung province, a bespectacled man in black sweater can be seen and heard at 0:14 saying: We admit that we have lost, but not by a margin as big as what has been claimed by Mr Prabowo. The text across the bottom of both videos says, in full: Jokowi-Maruf’s TKN rejects the Prabowo-Sandi camp’s real count data. Jokowi-Maruf’s TKN team rejects the Prabowo camp’s version of the real count data. For example, the data in the Riau province and Bangka Belitung province. The team says the loss of Jokowi-Ma’ruf there is not as big as what has been claimed by the Prabowo camp. Joko Widodo-KH Ma’ruf grabbed 39 per cent of popular votes, while 61 per cent of the votes were in favour of Prabowo-Sandiaga. On the other hand, Prabowo’s camp announced he had grabbed 78.26 per cent. Ma’ruf refers to Widodo’s running mate Ma’ruf Amin, while Sandiaga is Subianto’s vice presidential candidate, Sandiaga Uno. According to the KPU's official schedule which can be seen here , the official vote count for the 2019 elections will finish on May 22, 2019. (en)
