00:00 The vote-counting process for the Indonesian presidential and general elections went smoothly
00:07 in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.
00:09 The process was held at the World Trade Center, the same venue where some 20,000 Indonesian
00:14 workers in Malaysia cast their votes last Sunday.
00:18 The workers are part of the 1.2 million Indonesians working in the country, and they form the
00:23 largest number of Indonesian overseas voters.
00:26 "The ballot paper is still being counted now, so we don't know the exact details.
00:31 Once it's done, there will be a process of recapitulation.
00:35 We can't calculate in detail whether the number is higher or lower.
00:40 But from the percentage, it's about 10% of the total number of voters."
00:49 The Indonesian General Election Supervisory Agency said its monitoring committee had issued
00:54 six recommendations to the overseas election committee, following a viral video showing
00:59 alleged marked ballot papers ahead of last Sunday's polling day.
01:04 "At that time, there was a negligence from one of the non-existing members of the PPLN
01:14 who had been replaced through our handling process."
01:20 The overseas election committee said they will look into the recommendations before
01:23 making any decision.
01:25 The official results for the elections will come in about a month.
01:29 Unofficial figures showed that the PDIP party garnered nearly 20% of votes, based on 5.2%
01:36 of ballots counted at a sampling of polling stations in Indonesia.
01:41 Prabowo Subianto of the Jorindra party was reportedly leading in the race for presidency,
01:46 ahead of Anis Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo.
