Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka look set to win the presidential election. What are the crucial issues to watch, based on their campaign promises?
As the former general settles into office, a further gradual dismantling of democratic checks and balances, institutions and individual freedoms is very likely.
The general has repeatedly said Indonesia’s democratic system is not working and the country should return to its original 1945 constitution, which could unravel many democratic reforms.
Indonesia’s stance towards China is poised to remain steady, albeit with nuanced variations depending on the victor.
Pollsters are pointing to a Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming victory in round one, but it remains to be seen whether they have enough votes to avoid a second round.
