The US has congratulated Indonesia on a ‘historic’ presidential election.
This is as both Indonesian candidates, namely Prabowo Subianto and Joko Widodo,
claimed that unofficial early counts revealed they are winners.
The White House praised Indonesia's high voter turnout
- as a spirited election campaign with strong participation - these factors
underscored Indonesia as a developing democracy.
The administration of Washington also highlighted the
fact that the US and Indonesia are the world's second and third largest
democracies respectively.
President Obama is also looking forward to continuing the Comprehensive Partnership, established during 2010 with the new president and the new parliament.
However, it is now unlikely that more will be heard
from the White House in regards to the election, this is until after the
official results are released later this month. No doubt, there will be
congratulations from Washington to the winner.
