Indonesia's Prabowo withdraws presidential candidacy - party official

Indonesian former general Prabowo Subianto has withdrawn his presidential candidacy after denouncing the election process undemocratic, an official from his party said on Tuesday.

"I can confirm that Prabowo-Hatta are withdrawing from the election. That leaves only one candidate in the election," Aryo Djojohadikusumo, a lawmaker with Prabowo's Gerindra party and his nephew, told Reuters. He was referring to Prabowo's vice-presidential running mate, Hatta Rajasa.

It was not clear how Prabowo's actions would affect the announcement by the Elections Commission later on Tuesday on the outcome of the July 9 election.

The commission was expected to declare Prabowo's rival, Jakarta Governor Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, as the election winner and next president.
