The ruling Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle , of which Widodo is a member, is likely to win 25.36 percent of the votes for the national parliament, according to a quick count of a sample of votes by Indo Barometer.Ally Golkar, parliament’s second largest party, was at 14.27 percent of the vote, the findings showed.Indo Barometer is one of more than 40 pollsters accredited by the General Elections Commission to conduct unofficial quick counts.
A quick count by pollster Kompas, based on 3.80 percent of results, also had the ruling coalition winning the majority.Official results will be announced by the election commission on May 22.
