Indonesia's Joko Widodo has won a second term as president, election authorities have announcedJAKARTA - Indonesia's Joko Widodo won another term as president of the world's third-biggest democracy, official results showed Tuesday, after his rival Prabowo Subianto, a retired general, alleged widespread cheating. Some 85.6 million Indonesians cast their ballot in favour of Widodo out of about 154 million voters, it added. Widodo held off declaring victory after unofficial results emerged last month as Subianto insisted he was the archipelago's next leader. However, Azis Subekti, a witness for Subianto's camp, refused to sign and validate the official election results. "The scale of abuses and errors in the conduct of the election are clearly very minor overall," Jakarta-based political analyst Kevin O'Rourke said before Tuesday's official results.
