ncumbent President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo and running mate Ma’ruf Amin secured the most votes at polling station 02 Selong in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, where vice-presidential candidate Sandiaga Uno, the running mate of challenger Prabowo Subianto, cast his vote.

The vote count that started at 2 p.m. showed that of a total of 210 voters listed at the polling station, Jokowi-Ma’ruf secured 133 votes, while Prabowo-Sandiaga got 76 votes. One vote was declared invalid.

However, Prabowo-Sandiaga campaign team official Siti Hediati Haryadi, popularly known as Titiek Soeharto, was confident that the result at the polling station would not reflect the final national result.

“We’re still optimistic that we’ll win,” said the daughter of former president Soeharto.

Prabowo, who cast his vote in Hambalang, Bogor, West Java, has arrived at his private residence in Kertanegara, South Jakarta, and joined with Sandiaga and the campaign team to monitor the quick count.
