Widodo wins Indonesian presidential election with 53%: final tally

Jakarta governor Joko Widodo has won the
Indonesian presidential election with 53
percent of the vote against about 47 percent
for ex-general Prabowo Subianto, according to
a tally of final results cited by local media
Tuesday.
The news came just hours after Prabowo
announced he was withdrawing from the
election process in the world’s third-biggest
democracy, claiming his opponent had
committed massive fraud.
The official announcement of the result of the
July 9 election was expected shortly.
