'Governor of Jakarta will be the governor of us all': Anies

Jakarta

INDONESIAN President Joko Widodo swore in a former education minister as Jakarta's governor on Monday, months after an election that opened up religious and ethnic divisions in the world's biggest Muslim-majority country.

Mr Anies Baswedan was inaugurated as Indonesia's reputation for religious tolerance comes under scrutiny due to the rising clout of Islamists in a nation with large Christian, Hindu and Buddhist minorities.
