Indonesia’s leading presidential hopeful has named outgoing President Joko Widodo’s eldest son as his running mate in next year’s election. The announcement late Sunday by Prabowo Subianto ended weeks of fevered speculation in the Indonesian media.

The world’s third-largest democracy is holding its legislative and presidential elections on Feb. 14, 2024.
The controversial ruling, which clears the way for Gibran to run in the election, has been widely criticized as nepotistic, with analysts warning it could undermine the democratic process.Indonesia’s ruling party picks top security minister to run for VP in next year’s electionSubianto, who is also the Gerindra Party chairman, announced his pick late Sunday after meeting with eight leaders of his party at his residence in southern Jakarta.
The election is shaping up as a three-way race between Subianto and two former governors, Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo. Next year’s election is Subianto’s third bid for the presidency following his losses to Widodo in the 2014 and 2019 elections, respectively. He added that naming Gibran as his running mate and pledging to continue Widodo’s agenda are parts of his efforts to win Widodo’s sympathy and support.
