Unofficial tally points to second vote for Indonesia capital


Unofficial counts indicate the acrimonious election for the Indonesian capital's governor will head to a second round in April with the incumbent, a minority Christian, failing to secure the 50 percent needed for an outright win. "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama, whose campaign was hurt by blasphemy charges, winning 40-43 percent of the vote. Anies Rasyid Baswedan, a former education minister who courted conservative and hard-line Muslims, trails by a couple of points. The second round is going to be very ugly. Baswedan said he was open to an arrangement with Yudhoyono to secure his votes for the second round.
