Early results in Indonesia's election showed Joko Widodo was re-elected leader of the world's third-biggest democracy.

Jakarta - Thousands of soldiers fanned out across Jakarta on Tuesday as unexpectedly early results in Indonesia's election showed Joko Widodo was re-elected leader of the world's third-biggest democracy.

Tensions have also spiked high since police said last week that they arrested dozens of Islamic State-linked terror suspects -- including some who planned to cause chaos by detonating bombs at any post-election protests. Subianto, a 67-year-old retired general, has targeted the commission by accusing it of allowing a string of election violations.

"We won't surrender in our fight against injustice, fraud and abuse," he was quoted as saying by Indonesia's Detik.com.Analysts and election officials have discounted Subianto's claims that the result was affected by voter fraud and widespread cheating. It was unclear if huge crowds would flood the streets to support Subianto, but there was little sign of Tuesday.
