Indonesian Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto recently declared victory in the presidential polls after unofficial vote counts showed him leading over his key opponent.
The 72-year-old former special forces commander, who had run unsuccessfully for president twice before, had about 58 percent of the votes, according to four pollsters, based on “quick count” ballots at samples of voting stations nationwide, reported Al Jazeera.
Rivals Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo trailed with about 25 percent and 17 percent, respectively, according to the independent pollsters conducting the counts, the news channel reported.
