Riots have taken place in Jakarta last night (21 May) and as of 9am this morning, The Star reported that six people have died while 200 others were injured. 

The riots broke out after Indonesia’s official election results announced that Joko Widodo had won another term as president, according to Channel News Asia.

Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan was quoted as saying,

“Six people have died so far. Two at Tarakan Hospital and then at Pelni, Budi Kemulyaan, Cipto Mangunkusumo and RSAL Mintoharjo hospitals.”
