Sumedang, February 15, 2024 – Prabowo Subianto, the former defense minister, is leading in the quick count results of the Indonesian presidential election. With nearly all of the votes counted, Prabowo has secured 58% of the vote, followed by Anies Baswedan with 31% and Ganjar Pranowo with 11%.
Prabowo's victory is a major upset, as polls had consistently shown Anies Baswedan as the frontrunner. However, Prabowo was able to mobilize his strong support base in rural areas and among older voters.
Prabowo's victory is likely to have a significant impact on Indonesia's foreign policy. Prabowo is a known nationalist and has been critical of the United States and China. He is also likely to take a more hardline stance on issues such as terrorism and separatism.
