JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesian President Joko Widodo comfortably won last month's presidential poll, an official count showed, but the refusal of his opponent Prabowo Subianto to concede defeat has triggered the prospect of both a legal challenge and street protests.

The General Election Commission (KPU) confirmed counts issued by private pollsters that showed incumbent Widodo won the April 17 election by 11 percentage points.
