Indonesia is a rising powerhouse. Its economy is growing— now the
7th largest in terms of GDP. It has huge oil and gas stockpiles,
the biggest nickel reserves in the world, and critical materials
for semiconductors, laptops, and smartphones. And—arguably its most
valuable resource— a diverse, youthful, and digitally native
population. Next week, 205 million registered voters head to the
polls to vote in the nation's legislative and presidential
elections—the world's biggest single-day election. The current
presidential frontrunner, Prabowo Subianto, an aging former general
accused of war crimes and former son-in-law to Indonesia's last
dictator, is on the cusp of winning power thanks to a TikTok
campaign that's rebranded him as a 'cuddly Grandpa' figure. One
Decision—your Global Election Headquarters for 2024—sits down with
Minister Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, a retired four-star Army general
and now Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and
Investment who has known Prabowo Subianto for decades. Host Julia
Macfarlane talks with Chatham House's Asia Pacific Director, Ben
Bland, for his analysis of what's at stake in the
election.
