TL;DR

Former general Prabowo Subianto, linked to past human rights abuses, claimed victory in Indonesia's presidential election, raising questions about the country's commitment to democratic values. Unofficial tallies show Subianto with 57-59% of the votes, but official results are pending. The election also carries implications for the US and China due to Indonesia's economic and diplomatic influence. Critics fear democratic values are eroding, especially with Subianto's choice of President Widodo's son as his running mate.
