Election Uncertainty in Indonesia

South east Asia's largest economy voted for a new president today - with both candidates - Prabowo and Joko Widodo - declaring victory.

Prabowo is a former military general with links to Indonesia's long-time autocratic ruler Suharto.

Joko Widodo - or Jokowi as he's known - is the softly-spoken governor of the capital Jakarta - a former carpenter with a reputation for honesty.

He has now claimed victory - but then, so has his rival Prabowo.

It'll be a few weeks yet before the votes are officially tallied up.

And in many ways these polls have been about which way Indonesians want their country to go: to break with the past or hark back to it.

But are either of the presidential contenders the right man to get Indonesia's economy back on track?

We discuss that question with Michael Bachelard, the Jakarta correspondent for Australia's Sydney Morning Herald.
