The official result released by the General Election Commission (KPU) confirms unofficial counts by private pollsters of the Apr 17 election, giving Widodo a comfortable victory, though it could trigger a legal challenge and potential street protests after Prabowo claimed widespread cheating. Widodo won with over 85 million of the total 154 million votes cast in the world's third-largest democracy. It was not immediately clear if Prabowo would mount a legal challenge to the official result. The losing party can lodge a legal challenge at the constitutional court. Prabowo has not yet confirmed if he intends to go to court, but his challenge to his 2014 defeat by Widodo was rejected.
