In Indonesia's presidential election, Prabowo Subianto has taken a significant lead according to various quick counts. Pollsters such as Indikator, CSIS, LSI, and Kompas have reported Prabowo leading with percentages ranging from 58.07% to 60.11%, based on varying percentages of votes counted. Independent pollster Indikator Politik noted Prabowo had 59.77% of votes from 23.30% of ballots counted. The election, described as the world's biggest single-day event, was marked by severe flooding in Jakarta, delaying voting. Prabowo, a former Special Forces commander and Indonesia's Defense Minister, is seen as a strong front-runner, with projections suggesting he could win in a single round. His victory party celebrated a near 60% vote share, surpassing poll predictions and previous performances by incumbent Jokowi. Prabowo's claim of victory and the support from Jokowi's son, Gibran, for the vice-presidency, highlight a pivotal moment for Indonesia's democracy, amid concerns over Prabowo's controversial past and its impact on democratic values.
