Results In Limbo After Indonesia's Presidential Election
As rival candidates both claim victory in Indonesia's presidential election, police have joined the country's outgoing leader in calling on supporters of the two camps not to celebrate the results until the political limbo is resolved.
While unofficial "quick counts," appear to give Jakarta's governor, Joko Widodo, a slim lead, former army Gen. Prabowo Subianto says some of the counts have him in the lead.
Current President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who is stepping down because the law does not allow him to run for a third term, tweeted (in a translation by the BBC): "(The president) asks both candidates' sides to show restraint, not to mobilise masses onto the streets to celebrate victory until the verdict of the Election Commission."
