Indonesian presidential election

[jaichind]

The current count according to Kawalpemilu.org is

Jokowi       52.9%      59,088,934 votes
Prabowo    47.1%     52.591.686 votes

This is with
406,939 out of 472,672 precincts reporting.

Given how many votes has been counted it seems that Jokowi has this locked up.

The current count according to Kawalpemilu.org is

Jokowi       52.8%     65,471,519 votes
Prabowo    47.2%     58,505,594 votes

This is with
452,328 out of 472,672 precincts reporting.

The vote share barely budged since yesterday.

A 6-point lead is probably high enough for Prabowo to accept his defeat.

The current count according to Kawalpemilu.org is

Jokowi       52.8%     67,067,675 votes
Prabowo    47.2%    59,944,920 votes

This is with
460,466 out of 472,672 precincts reporting.

One thing that is interesting is that even though Jokowi is the governor of Jakarta, he only got 53.1 of the vote there.  He got massive margins in Central Java where he was the mayor of a city called Surakarta by winning there with 66.6% of the vote.  In fact he won Central Java by over 6.4 million votes which is almost the entire size of his lead over Prabowo.  This means if it was not Central Java this election would be a virtual tie.

The official results will be released in 3 hours.

Jokowi now has already more votes than Obama in 2008 (ca. 71 million).

His lead is 53.2-46.8 right now.

Prabowo goes sore-loser and withdraws from the process and aims to challenge the election at the highest court:

Prabowo goes sore-loser and withdraws from the process and aims to challenge the election at the highest court:

Well, he kind of backed himself into a corner by claiming the entire process that he was ahead.  So when the results come out with him losing he will have been seen as a liar.  So to not lose consistency he has to claim the process to be tainted beyond repair when the results comes out.
