Indonesia's election commission on Wednesday said Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto had received the most votes in last month's presidential election.

Prabowo, a three-time presidential candidate, won the contest with over 96 million of roughly 164 million total votes, in a resounding win over former provincial governors Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo, who respectively received about 41 million and 27 million, according to the final tally of the election body.

Prabowo is expected to take over from outgoing President Joko Widodo in October.
