JAKARTA: Indonesian presidential contender Prabowo Subianto, a former special forces commander, on Wednesday appeared on track to win the election in a single round, based on unofficial vote counts.
Prabowo had nearly 60% of votes, based on 50.7% of votes counted at a sampling of polling stations across the country, pollster Litbang Kompas said.
Private pollsters are tabulating votes at a sample of polling stations across the country, known as "quick counts." In previous elections, the counts from reputable companies have proved to be accurate. --REUTERS
