Indonesia's New Leader: Prabuo Subiento Claims Victory in Presidential Election
Prabuo Subiento, a former general and Indonesia's current defense minister, has claimed victory in Indonesia's presidential election. Early results showed him capturing 60% of the vote. Although the official result will be announced in March, Prabuo's win appears likely. His victory is largely attributed to his alliance with current president Jokowi, who backed him and appointed him as defense minister. Prabuo's populist campaign, promising free milk and lunch to school children, also gained support. However, there are concerns about the fairness of the election, with allegations of voter fraud and a decline in democratic progress.
