Indonesian election underway

More than 192 million Indonesians are eligible to vote in presidential and parliamentary elections, with 245,000 candidates in what is described as the world's biggest single-day election. President Joko Widodo is standing for re-election in a contest with ex-general Prabowo Subianto, whom he narrowly defeated in 2014.

Indonesian voters hope that the new government will maintain the current economic growth rate, while continuing to promote infrastructure development.
