Pollsters show Indonesia's incumbent President Joko Widodo is leading a race over rival Prabowo Subianto
People queue up at a polling booth to vote during elections in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia April 17, 2019.
With between 40 and 50 percent of sample polling stations counted, four polling organisations showed Widodo winning 54 to 56 percent of the votes.Indonesians have voted in one of the world's biggest one-day elections on Wednesday in a race to lead the world's most populous Muslim country. A worker carries election materials as he prepares ballot boxes before their distribution to polling stations in a warehouse in Jakarta, Indonesia, April 15, 2019.
A series of so-called "quick counts" are expected to give a reliable indication of the presidential winner later Wednesday. Official results are not expected until May. Raised in a bamboo shack in a riverside slum, the soft-spoken Widodo stands in stark contrast to Subianto, whose strongman image is underscored by a penchant for slamming lecterns as he accuses Jakarta of selling the country off to foreign interests.
