Jakarta, Indonesia (CNN) Police and protesters angry at Indonesia's election result have battled for a second night on the streets of Jakarta, after six people were killed and more than 200 injured in the initial clashes.

Hundreds rallied on both Tuesday and Wednesday night, throwing stones and firecrackers at police as smoke billowed from cars that had been set alight.

Protesters chanted "Down with Jokowi" and "Prabowo our President!" on Wednesday night, as police in riot gear responded with teargas and water jets.
