Indonesians on Wednesday will elect the successor to popular President Joko Widodo, who is serving his second and final term. It is a three-way race among current Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto and two former provincial governors, Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo. Subianto has picked Widodo’s eldest son as his running mate, and Widodo is seen as backing their ticket rather than the candidate from his own party. About 205 million people are eligible to vote in the world’s third-largest democracy and most populous Muslim-majority nation. Polls have shown Subianto consistently ahead of his rivals but he may not be able to avoid a runoff.
