Indonesian elections declared: Jokowi wins Prabowo loses
2014-07-22

Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, is officially Indonesia's seventh president after the General Elections Commission (KPU) concluded its vote recapitulation on Tuesday evening, confirming that the governor of Jakarta and furniture businessman had garnered 53.15 percent of the vote.

Jokowi netted 70,633,576 votes, which was over 8 million more than rival Prabowo Subianto, who received 62,262,844 votes or 46.85 percent. Analysts have said that with a gap of 6.3 percent, it would be difficult for war criminal Prabowo to contest the result with the Constitutional Court.

Jokowi will be sworn in as president no later than Oct. 20.

Praboohoo Prabowo had earlier rejected the election vote recapitulation process and result, claiming that the election process was flawed and marred by widespread fraud.
Prabowo knows the value of fraud and of false flags. He sent a group of Indonesian military thugs in a Red Cross helicopter into the highlands of West Papua to free some Western Hostages. When innocent villagers (not the kidnappers) saw the helicopter they thought it was their friends and ran towards it. The Indonesians jumped out and mowed them down.

#2  Dint worry he is no Obama... jokowi is a puppet of Megawati Sukarnoputri, he will make few decisions of his own.

Minor-wati represents another cabal of rich thieving Suharto era generals.

So it is the same as if Prabowo won, just not so blatant. At least there won't be that embarrassing moment when the US has to drop the travel ban because the war criminal is now the president of a big military power with a population of 200 million muslims

#1  From what I've heard Jokowi is kind of an Indonesian Baraq Obama. Good luck with that, Indonesia.
