Indonesian President Joko Widodo was poised to win a second term as leader of the world’s most populous Muslim nation, with initial election results showing the moderate incumbent comfortably ahead of his rival, a nationalist former military general.
Analysts said Jokowi had hoped to blunt allegations from hard-line Islamist groups, including some that backed Prabowo, that he wasn’t “Muslim enough.” Throughout the campaign Jokowi faced online rumors describing him as secular or ethnically Chinese — both political liabilities in a country that is growing more religiously conservative.
“Not enough people have work,” said Rosliana, dressed in a full-length Islamic abaya outside her polling station, her finger stained with purple ink to show she had cast her ballot. “Prabowo will bring more development.” “I saw progress in the city. Jakarta became more developed,” she said. “I want my kids to have a good, modern Indonesia.”Advertisement
