The campaign season for Indonesia’s presidential election will kick off this Sunday with incumbent Joko “Jokowi” Widodo and his contender, former military general Prabowo Subianto, fighting for the ballots of 187.1 million eligible voters ahead of polling day next April, The Straits Times reports. Despite an ominous round of regional elections in June that seemed to signal trouble for the president, Jokowi continues to enjoy the highest level of electability, according to Asia Sentinel. One of the lingering questions is to what extent will religious issues affect the race. Already, cracks in Jokowi’s base have appeared, with former supporters accusing the president of selling himself out as he cozies up to ultra-conservative political elements, writes Erin Cook for The Diplomat.
