Former special forces commander Prabowo becomes Indonesian president
JAKARTA – Indonesia's Prabowo Subianto will take over as president of the world's third-largest democracy on October 20 after winning the country's elections with policies such as free meals for schoolchildren and with the incumbent leader's son as his running mate.
The 73-year-old former special forces commander won the Feb. 14 vote with nearly 60 percent of the vote and has spent the past nine months building a formidable parliamentary coalition.
Mr Prabowo will officially become Indonesia's eighth president in the morning after taking the oath of office in a ceremony at the Indonesian Parliament, flanked by outgoing President Joko Widodo or Jokowi as he is popularly known.
Mr. Prabowo, who twice unsuccessfully ran for president, is expected to deliver a speech to lawmakers in the upper house of Parliament after the swearing-in and before heading to the presidential palace.
He will be joined by his running mate, Mr. Gibran Rakabuming Raka, 37, Mr. Widodo's eldest son.
As they head towards the palace, they will be greeted by thousands of supporters who are expected to fill the streets of Jakarta, lined with posters of the new leader.
Mr. Prabowo and Mr. Gibran are expected to stop at seven stops that have been set up along the path between Parliament and the palace, Mr. Nusron Wahid, an aide to Prabowo, told reporters on October 18.
Supporters of Mr. Widodos are also expected to attend the celebrations and bid farewell to Indonesia's outgoing leader.
After two terms and a decade in power, he left an indelible mark on the nation of 280 million, presiding over a period of strong economic growth and massive infrastructure development.
Critics also say his reign has been marked by a rise in the cronyism and dynastic politics of yesteryear, and they warn of a decline in the integrity of the courts and other state institutions.
Indonesian police and military have implemented tight security measures, deploying at least 100,000 personnel across the city, including snipers and riot units.
