These past few days have been busy for us (Indonesian) especially for our government and election committee. Wednesday, April 17th was the busiest day, because it was the election day. This general election period is the busiest because this time and for the first time in our history that the president, vice president and parliaments were selected in the same time. There were 2 candidates of president and vice president and around 245,000 candidates who "fight" or trying to win parliamentary & legislative seats. Those 245,000 candidates are come from various parties and this time, there were 16 parties that participate in this election. Quick count results from survey institutes are announced on television and social media, but we are still waiting for the official result from general election committee. The official result will be announced in May 2019.

On the other hand, besides the celebration of the successful of the election day, there are some sad news come from some regions. The sad news are there were already 6 polling station working committees officers who reportedly died due to exhaustion. I think that they can be called the real hero in this case or in Indonesia people using #martyr of democracy, to honor their hard work in election day.
Despite of some disruption happened right now in Indonesia regarding the election process and quick count results from survey institutes, I hope that at the end of the day, whoever become the President, Indonesia is still become a country that uphold the unity in diversity regardless the race, culture, difference opinion during the election, etc.
