00:00 Indonesia's election commission on Wednesday formally announced that Prabowo Subianto
00:07 had received the most votes in last month's presidential election.
00:12 The former Special Forces Commander and current Defense Minister won the contest with nearly
00:17 60 percent of votes, a resounding win over rivals Agnis Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo,
00:23 who received about 25 percent and 16 percent of votes respectively, according to the official
00:29 tally of the election body.
00:31 Prabowo, a three-time presidential candidate, is expected to take over from outgoing President
00:37 Jokowi Dodo, known as Jokowi, in October.
00:41 He billed himself to voters and investors alike as the "continuity" candidate.
00:46 On Wednesday, he repeated a pledge to use as a guide Jokowi's economic policies, which
00:52 have modernized infrastructure, cut red tape, and delivered growth and prosperity.
00:58 The recently decorated honorary four-star general rose to the top job in the world's
01:03 third largest democracy despite past allegations of human rights abuses during his time in
01:09 the military, which he has denied.
01:12 His popularity soared with younger voters, especially on social media like TikTok, and
01:17 especially after he picked Jokowi's son as his running mate.
01:21 Both losing camps have alleged the electoral process was marred by widespread counting
01:26 irregularities.
01:28 Anis Baswedan filed a legal case at the Constitutional Court on Thursday to challenge the outcome.
01:34 The Ganjar Pranowo team is also expected to lodge a legal challenge.
