Subianto takes fight to Widodo's turf as polls show shift

Jakarta

SEIZING on a seismic shift in public opinion, former general Prabowo Subianto plans to take the fight to become Indonesia's second directly elected president deep into his rival Joko Widodo's heartland in Central Java.

It will be Mr Subianto's first visit in two months to the home province of Mr Widodo, who was the wildly popular mayor of Surakarta (Solo) from 2005 until he was tapped to be Jakarta governor in 2012.
