Indonesian President Joko Widodo said Thursday he was won re-election after receiving an estimated 54% of the vote.

 

印度尼西亚总统佐科·维多多周四表示，他在大选中预计获得54%选票连任成功。

 

Widodo, after meeting with parties in his coalition¹, told reporters that the leaders of Malaysia, Singapore, Turkey and numerous other nations have congratulated him on securing a second term.

 

The vote estimate is based on so-called quick counts of a sample of polling stations by a dozen reputable survey organizations. Widodo said that 100% of sample polling stations have now been counted or close to that. The quick counts have been accurate in previous elections.

 

"We all know that the QC (quick count) calculation is a scientific calculation method. From the country's experiences of past elections the accuracy is 99.9%, almost the same as real count results," Widodo said.

 

Widodo's rival, former Gen. Prabowo Subianto, has claimed he won 62% of the vote in Wednesday's election based on his campaign's own counts, repeating a similar claim when he lost to Widodo in 2014.

 

The Election Commission is required to release official results by May 22.
