eports submitted by the Regional Elections Commissions (KPUD) in 33 provinces announced on Sunday that candidate pair Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo-Jusuf Kalla had won 53.16 percent of the vote in all regions and overseas while rival Prabowo Subianto-Hatta Rajasa garnered 46.48 percent.
The KPUDs from the 33 provinces completed their provincial vote recapitulation early Sunday. The final vote tally at the national level is scheduled to run from Sunday through Tuesday.
Tempo.co reported that Jokowi-Kalla won 71,014,846 votes while 62,576,744 votes went to Prabowo-Hatta.
Jokowi and Kalla won in four provinces in Java, four in Kalimantan, five in Sulawesi and six in Sumatra, as well as Bali, East Nusa Tenggara, Maluku, Papua and West Papua.
Meanwhile, Prabowo-Hatta won more than 60 percent of the vote in Gorontalo, West Nusa Tenggara and West Sumatra. The ticket's largest vote result was from West Java, from which it got 14 million votes.
Election Supervisory Committee (Bawaslu) commissioner Daniel Zuchron said on Sunday that all election organizers had arrived in Jakarta to attend the national level three-day-vote recapitulation at the KPU headquarters.
KPU commissioner Ferry Kurnia Rizkiansyah said the commission hoped all Indonesian people could trust the final result of the 2014 presidential election without having to file a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court.
'Monitors from both Jokowi-Kalla and Prabowo-Hatta camps will be present in the meeting,' he said. (gda/ebf)
