Indonesian police have deployed tear gas as supporters of losing presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto protested in Jakarta on Wednesday.

WARNING: May contain graphic images.

Pro-Subianto demonstrators had taken to the streets of Indonesia’s capital after the announcement of official election results.

The clashes first erupted late on Tuesday and authorities said six people have been killed in the rioting.

Overnight, vehicles and a paramilitary police dormitory were set ablaze as police using tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon battled protesters who threw molotov cocktails and burning projectiles.

National Police chief Tito Karnavian said the people who died were hit by gunshots or blunt devices.

Indonesia’s Election Commission on Tuesday said President Joko Widodo had won a second term with 55.5% of the vote in the April 17 election.

Subianto, an ultra-nationalist former special forces general, has refused to accept the results and declared himself the winner.
