Popular Jakarta governor Joko Widodo is poised to win Indonesia's presidential election, according to results broadcast on television.
The election commission is yet to formally announce the result, but a tally shows Mr Widodo, also known as Jokowi, won 53.15% of the vote.
His rival, former general Prabowo Subianto, garnered 46.85% of the vote. He has said he is withdrawing from the election process, alleging fraud.
He has vowed to challenge the results.
The election commission is due to announce the formal results at 2000 local time (1400 GMT).
But jubilant supporters have already begun flooding Twitter with congratulatory messages for Mr Widodo, using the hashtag #presidenbaru (New President).
Mr Widodo has proved to be particularly popular with urban and rural youth and represents a decisive break with Indonesia's authoritarian past.
His rival Mr Subianto is a former general closely associated with the traditional elite and had the backing of media tycoons.
About 130 million votes were cast on 9 July following an intense election campaign.
Both candidates had raised concerns about voting irregularities during the past two weeks, as ballots from nearly 500,000 polling stations were tallied.
Security was tight for the announcement, with more than 250,000 police officers on duty across the nation, amid fears that supporters from both camps would clash leading to violence.
Mr Subianto said earlier on Tuesday that his camp would not resort to violence as it challenges the results.
