Given Indonesia's turbulent history (dramatized in The Year of Living Dangerously starring Sigourney Weaver and Mel Gibson), this has the prospect of devolving into a coup attempt or even civil war. An election victory margin of 10% should not be subject to question. But the

winning presidential candidate and incumbent is a civilian with no military background.
