Prabowo claims presidential win in Indonesia election

(Al Jazeera Media Network) Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto has claimed victory in Indonesia’s presidential election after unofficial figures showed him well ahead of opponents Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo.

More than 200 million people registered to vote across the archipelago in one of the world’s biggest and most complex elections.

Turnout in the race to succeed President Joko Widodo, also known as Jokowi, who is serving the last of his two terms in office, appears high.

Heavy rain and flooding caused some problems on the morning of election day, particularly in Jakarta and Java, but did not seem to dampen voters’ enthusiasm.
