"Prabowo Subianto: Indonesia's New President and Global Implications"
TL;DR Summary
Prabowo Subianto, a wealthy ex-general with ties to Indonesia's outgoing president and its dictatorial past, is set to become the country's next leader. While promising to continue popular policies, concerns about his human rights record and ties to the brutal Suharto dictatorship linger. Subianto's win is not yet official, but unofficial tallies show him leading in a three-way race. Born into one of Indonesia's most powerful families, he has faced allegations of human rights abuses, including during Indonesia's occupation of Timor-Leste. His election leaves observers uncertain about the country's future growth and democracy.
