Prabowo's Coalition Dominate Indonesian Regional Elections; Jakarta The Exception

POLITIC - JAKARTA. Candidates backed by new Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto look set to secure victories in key regional elections, with the exception of Jakarta, which analysts said should make it easier to implement his agenda and reinforce his political clout.

More than 200 million Indonesians voted on Wednesday for leaders in 37 provinces, 93 cities, and 415 districts. While the official results will be announced between Nov. 30 and Dec. 15, independent pollsters have released their election counts.
