Indonesia elections

With the world at a technological watershed, Indonesia needs to develop mechanisms to guard against the manipulation of AI for political purposes.

The growing estrangement between the Indonesian president and the party that he represented at the past two presidential elections could shape the country's future political trajectory.

Anwar Usman should have recused himself from a Constitutional Court ruling that allowed President Joko Widodo's son, his nephew by marriage, to run in next year's presidential election.

The comments from Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo follow the appointment of President Joko Widodo's son as their rival's vice presidential running mate.

Complainants allege that last week's ruling, which paved the way for President Joko Widodo's 36-year-old son to run in next year's election, was politically motivated.

The country's democratic durability has been underpinned by pragmatic collaboration between elites. This has come at a cost.

The February 14 is shaping up as a competition to see who can most successfully claim the legacy of President Joko Widodo.

President Joko Widodo's son will run in next year's election as Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto's vice presidential running-mate. What are the implications for Indonesian democracy?

The official election registration period for February 14 poll opened today, and will run until October 25.

The recently announced election partnership between Anies Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar is seeking to bridge two contending religious traditions.

The former Jakarta governor has announced that he will team up with Muhaimin Iskandar of PKB, the country's largest Islamic party.

Despite his checkered past, the defense minister is commanding surprisingly strong support from young Indonesians.
