JAKARTA: Indonesia's Prabowo Subianto's campaign team said on Wednesday it was confident its candidate had won the presidential election in a single round.
The comments came after unofficial vote counts by several independent pollsters showed Prabowo had nearly 60% of votes, while his rivals trailed at least 35 points behind.
"We are confident this is a single-round victory for Prabowo and Gibran" said Prabowo's party's secretary general, Ahmad Muzani, referring to his running mate.
