It’s hard to find solid information, but a number of polling companies have produced exit polls, and according to the Jakarta Post’s coverage of the exit polls, they all put Yudohoyono’s party leading with about 20%, with Megawati’s IDP-S coming second with around 15% and Golkar (the party of the late dictator Suharto) polling around 13%. In comparison, Golkar came first in 2004 with 21.6%, IDP-S second with 18.5% and Yudhoyono’s Democratic Party came fifth with 7.5%.
In case anyone is interested there are now reports of large amounts of irregularities in the voting in Indonesia.

From what I gather it doesn’t seem like it is fraud, but just simple incompetence.
