JAKARTA (Jakarta Post/ANN): Prabowo Subianto has pledged to be a president for all Indonesians after official results showed him sweeping last month's election, even as rivals said they would mount legal challenges over the electoral process.
The former special forces commander and current defense minister won the Feb. 14 contest with nearly 60 per cent of votes, a resounding victory over rivals Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo, who received about 25 per cent and 16 per cent, respectively, according to the election body's official tally.
