Independent pollsters show Prabowo Subianto, the current defense minister, leading in Indonesia's presidential election, with about 50% of the vote counted. Official results are not expected for several weeks.
Indonesian Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto appeared poised to win Wednesday’s presidential election in a single round, according to unofficial tallies.
His rivals, Anies Baswedan, the former governor of Jakarta, and Ganjar Pranowo from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, had just under 23% and 17.3%, respectively, according to Kompas.
Independent pollster Indikator Politik showed that Gerindra Party’s Prabowo Subianto was in the lead with 59.77% votes, based on 23% of ballots counted.
Thunderstorms caused flooding in some parts of the capital, Jakarta, with Reuters news agency reporting that dozens of polling stations had been affected.
According to opinion polls ahead of the vote, the man leading the race is Prabowo Subianto from the Gerindra Party, a former military commander who currently serves as the Minister of Defense.
Such changes would have ramifications beyond Indonesia, as Jakarta wields a significant diplomatic influence among its Southeast Asian neighbors and boasts strong trade relationships with China and the US.
