"Prabowo Takes Lead in Indonesia's Presidential Election"

Indonesia's Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto is leading in early unofficial presidential vote counts, with "quick counts" and exit polls showing him as the frontrunner in the country's presidential elections. Former Jakarta governor Anies Baswedan and former governor of Central Java Ganjar Pranowo placed second and third, respectively. Official results are not expected for at least a month, and if no candidate secures more than 50% of the national vote, a runoff will be held. The outcome of the elections could impact Indonesia's democratization and economic development, as well as President Joko Widodo's plans for the country.
