Indonesia rivals meet for first time since election

CHICARITO / AFP

Indonesia’s President and opposition leader have met for the first time since a bruising election. 

The country’s leader Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto were at an event together testing out Jakarta's new transit system.

Widodo was re-elected earlier this year.

However Subianto accused him of rigging votes, causing opposition supporters to hold violent protests across the country. 

The country’s Constitutional Court upheld the results in a ruling last month.
