About 259,000 candidates are competing for 20,600 positions across 17,000 islands in Indonesia in the world’s largest one-day election. However, the focus of this election is who will replace President Joko Widodo.
The race to lead the world’s third-largest democracy is off to a good start for Praboyo. But he has a record of losing twice to Widodo, who is widely popular in the country. This is the third time Praboyo is running for the presidency and this is going to be his last fight in the Indonesian elections.
To win outright, a candidate must win more than 50 percent of the votes cast and 20 percent in at least half of the 38 states. If no candidate gets a single majority, a runoff vote between the top two contenders will be held next June.
