JAKARTA - Incumbent President Joko Widodo won last month’s Indonesian election with 55.5% of votes against 44.5% for his challenger, retired General Prabowo Subianto, the election commission’s official count said early on Tuesday.
Widodo won with over 85 million of the total 154 million votes cast in the world’s third-largest democracy. There was no immediate reaction from him or his campaign team. “We won’t give up in the face of this injustice, cheating, lies, and these actions against democracy,” said Azis Subekti, a witness from Prabowo’s campaign team.Authorities have tightened security in anticipation of potential civil unrest and have detained dozens of militant Islamists suspected of planning attacks to create mayhem during demonstrations.
National police, who report directly to Widodo, have also held or interrogated at least three leading opposition figures for suspected treason.Last week, police said they had detained about 30 suspected militants with ties to Jemaah Ansharut Daulah , Indonesia’s largest group linked to Islamic State.
