The leading presidential candidate, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, is ahead of his rivals and could easily win the election in one round by getting more than 50 percent of the vote. Yudhoyono has promised to continue reforms in the world’s most populous Muslim nation and fight corruption and ensure development.
