All eyes on Jakarta as vote counting underway for Indonesia's regional elections
Vote counting is underway in Indonesia's regional election, with over 200 million eligible voters. The polls are being seen as a litmus test for President Prabowo Subianto. Thousands of candidates are vying for posts in over 500 administrative regions. 37 governors will be elected. One key battleground is Jakarta -- widely seen as a stepping stone to the presidency. The Indonesian capital is a three-horse race. If no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, it will go to a run-off between the two leading candidates. Saifulbahri Ismail reports.
