[JAKARTA] In just a few weeks, Joko Widodo will conclude his 10-year presidency in Indonesia, passing the mantle to Prabowo Subianto, the former general who emerged victorious in February’s election.
Prabowo assumes office on Oct 20, with Gibran Rakabuming Raka – Widodo’s elder son – as his vice-president.
As South-east Asia’s largest democracy gears up for a political transition, controversy has swirled around the Widodo family, amid concerns that the president is building a political dynasty. The Business Times breaks down the allegations making headlines.
