Jokowi wins Indonesian election.
Jakarta – Joko Widodo, who won the hearts of Indonesians
with his common-man image, garnered 53 percent of the
vote in Indonesia’s presidential election, final results from
the Election Commission showed Tuesday.
The numbers were released shortly after his opponent,
former Gen. Prabowo Subianto, declared he was
withdrawing from the contest, saying there was fraud
during the election and that it was unfair and
undemocratic.
Widodo, a former furniture maker known widely as
“Jokowi,” maintained a slim lead of about 4 percentage
points in unofficial quick counts by polling agencies
released after the July 9 election.
But Subianto, who has declared assets of $140 million and
was on his third bid for the presidency, repeatedly claimed

Subianto supporters held a peaceful protest some 300 yards
from the Election Commission building in downtown
Jakarta, chanting “Prabowo is the real president” and
holding banners demanding that the commission stop
cheating.
The building was surrounded by thousands of policemen to
maintain security after a particularly nasty presidential
campaign. It was the first election that pitted two
candidates directly against each other since the Muslim
majority country of 240 million emerged from the long and
brutal Suharto dictatorship 16 years ago.
Supporters of both men used social media for personal
attacks, and Subianto’s supporters led a smear campaign
against Widodo, spreading rumors he is not a Muslim.
The commission was to formally declare the winner later
Tuesday evening. Final results showed that Widodo won
