There is cause for relief from last week?s Jakarta gubernatorial election: voters were not influenced by sectarian issues. Under the shadow of the massive protests of November 4 and December 2 last year, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok), according to the General Elections Commission (KPU), came first with 43 percent of the vote. Ahok was accused of blasphemy for quoting the Qur'an in a speech at the Thousand Islands last September. As a result, he is facing criminal charges. The two other candidates, Anies Baswedan and Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, garnered 40 percent and 17 percent of the vote, respectively. Agus was eliminated from the contest. Ahok and Anies will go on to contest the second round, which will take place in April. An exit poll organized by the Indikator Politik provides more details about the impact of the religion issue in this election. Only 13 percent of those who voted for Anies did so because he was seen as 'doing the most to fight for religion'.
