Prabowo Subianto has been formally confirmed as Indonesia’s next president, decisively beating two rivals who have promised to file a legal complaint over February’s election.
Defence Minister Prabowo and his vice presidential running mate, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, won a majority of votes on February 14, winning 59 percent, or more than 96 million votes, General Elections Commission Chair Hasyim Asy’ari said late on Wednesday, the deadline for the announcement of the official result.
