Joko Widodo looks set for victory in Indonesia's presidential election in what could result in his second term as the President of Indonesia.

Challenger Prabowo Subianto is disputing this claim, however, and said that he had won the popular vote and urged supporters to not let his victory be snatched away.

Data from private pollsters based on counts of vote samples supported the opinion polls, predicting a win for Widodo who was a former furniture businessman and low-key reformist.
