JAKARTA -- The results of Wednesday's presidential election in Indonesia will shift the political landscape in Southeast Asia's largest economy, with one analyst saying a power battle between Prabowo Subianto, who has claimed victory, and incumbent leader Joko "Jokowi" Widodo has begun.
As of 10 a.m., major pollsters' unofficial quick counts, based on about 95% of the votes counted at sample polling stations, showed Prabowo winning 57% to 59% of the ballots cast, far ahead of his two rivals, former Jakarta Gov. Anies Baswedan, at 24% to 25%, and former Central Java Gov. Ganjar Pranowo's 15% to 17%.
