Indonesians still rooting for Jokowi

Jakarta: Indonesia’s Joko Widodo, popularly known as Jokowi, was on track to be re-elected leader of the world’s third-biggest democracy as unofficial results put him in a comfortable lead over firebrand ex-general Prabowo Subianto after voting closed across the 17,000-island archipelago.

While official results are not due until next month, a series of so-called “quick counts” by pollsters showed Jokowi as much as 11 percentage points ahead.
