CRI听力:Joko Widodo Wins Indonesia Presidential Election
Former Jakarta governor Joko Widodo has been officially declared the winner of Indonesia's presidential election.
The official results released by Indonesia's General Election Commission show Widodo has taken 53-percent of the vote.
"This is a victory for all Indonesian people. We hope this victory will pave the way to build Indonesia to be an independent economy."
His rival, former general Prabowo Subianto came in with 46-percent support.
Despite the results being made official, Subianto has been disputing the election, claiming fraud.
The former furniture exporter, commonly known as "Jokowi", enjoys support amongst Indonesia's younger population.
Widodo campaigned on a promise to break with Indonesia's authoritarian past and create a better social welfare system for the poor.
He's set to replace outgoing president Susilio Bangbag Youdohono in October.
