Prabowo Subianto hadn’t even lived a day of his presidential honeymoon period when China started harassing a state-owned ship. What’s it all about?
Prabowo Subianto’s inauguration as Indonesian president on Sunday caps a remarkable political comeback from years on Western blacklists.
Joko Widodo is handing over the world’s third-largest democracy to his chosen successor on Sunday.
The ruling has sparked street protests from backers of the failed presidential candidates,who had both claimed fraud.
The runner-up duo has now lodged legal action alleging Joko Widodo’s son was ineligible to run despite a court’s green light.
Long the loser,former military hardman Prabowo Subianto is expected to become Indonesia’s next president. This is how he did it.
If confirmed in the official tally next month,the 72-year-old would fulfil a decades-long dream of high office. Victory would also install the 36-year-old son of popular incumbent Joko Widodo as the nation’s vice president.
The man in line to be Indonesia’s next president has a long memory. He hasn’t forgotten what Australians did in 1945 to support his country’s independence.
Presidential favourite Prabowo Subianto,a former general with a murky past,has a complicated relationship with Indonesia’s Chinese community.
Indonesia’s presidential election tomorrow will mark a new era for one of our nearest neighbours and the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation.
Some 200 million Indonesians will elect 20,000 legislators on Wednesday. But the main show is the presidency,a three-cornered contest thick with dynastic politics and reputation repackaging.
