Indonesia has concluded its general election, marking the world's biggest single-day election across three time zones. Prabowo Subianto (Gerindra, Right) appears to have secured a significant lead, with more than 90% of the Quick Count (an unofficial tally) done, securing almost 60% of the votes. This performance surpasses all polls' predictions and exceeds the vote percentages of the last two elections won by Jokowi. Various pollsters and media outlets have projected Subianto as the president-elect in a single round. Gibran, Jokowi's son and set to become Indonesia's youngest vice president, thanked the youth for their support. The election has sparked discussions on its implications for Indonesian democracy, with concerns about Subianto's past rights abuses and authoritarian tendencies. The markets have reacted positively to Subianto's claim of victory, although there's uncertainty regarding his stance on energy subsidies, a key component of his first policy proposal.
All eyes in Indonesia will now be watching to see if presumptive President-elect Prabowo will honor his campaign promises to continue his predecessor’s populist policies—or if he will give in to his authoritarian tendencies https://t.co/T7FF0Dgt6L
