|
 By Kanupriya Kapoor and Fergus Jensen JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesians voted for a new parliament on Wednesday in a poll expected to be dominated by the opposition Indonesian Democratic Party-Struggle (PDI-P), boosting the chances of its popular candidate in a presidential election three months from now. Already, the star of the election is Jakarta governor Joko Widodo, widely known as Jokowi, whom opinion polls suggest will almost certainly be the next president of Southeast Asia's biggest economy. One early exit poll, issued by CSIS-Cyrus two hours before voting had closed and based on 6,000 voters, showed PDI-P well ahead with 19.85 percent, already close to the threshhold which would allow it to nominate its presidential candidate. My party will do very well," Jokowi said in English after voting with his wife in central Jakarta, according to local news website, Detik.com.
