Indonesia's upcoming presidential elections will be influenced by the nation's young and enthusiastic electorate, with young voters accounting for more than half of the eligible voters. The main candidates include Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto, who leads in opinion polls, and the election may go to a runoff in June if no candidate secures an absolute majority. The election also raises concerns about continuity and its risks, as well as human rights issues, particularly regarding Prabowo's controversial past and his ties to the Suharto era.
