On Valentine’s Day, Indonesia held the world’s largest single-day election to choose a new president, vice president, parliament, and local representatives. In this so-called “festival of democracy,” Indonesian voters showed their love for Prabowo Subianto, the current defense minister and three-time presidential candidate, with roughly 58 percent of the votes. Prabowo will take over as president from Joko Widodo who has exhausted the two terms allowed under the constitution.
Born into an elite and cosmopolitan family, the incoming president spent his childhood and high school education in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Switzerland, and England. Back in Indonesia, Prabowo joined the notorious army special forces unit (Kopassus) and married one of President Suharto’s daughters, allowing him to rise quickly through the ranks of the military and keeping him close to centers of power.
After Suharto’s fall, Prabowo was discharged from the armed forces in 1998 for alleged human rights violations, and he spent the next two decades trying to consolidate his place in post-Suharto politics. After two failed attempts in 2014 and 2019 to become president, the former general will finally assume the top job in October.
