Indonesia's next president faces fuel subsidy challenge

The results of Indonesia's hotly-contested election are due on Tuesday. Early projections have put Joko Widodo in the lead.

But presidential election candidate Prabowo Subianto has said he is withdrawing from the election process, alleging massive fraud.

There are concerns the transition of power will not be smooth, which is worrying some investors.

And the new leader will face the challenge of balancing the books in the year ahead and cutting controversial subsidies.

BBC Indonesia editor Karishma Vaswani reports from Jakarta.
