INDONESIAN President Joko Widodo looks set to be re-elected according to unofficial results announced hours after polling closed gave him a 10 per cent lead.

The election was billed as a “race to the right” with the two main candidates – Mr Widodo and former army general Prabowo Subianto – accused of pandering to Islamist conservatism.

More than 192 million people were eligible to vote for 245,000 candidates with 20,000 local and national lawmakers selected.
