Indonesia regional elections seen as test for Prabowo
JAKARTA (AFP) Indonesians voted to elect their local leaders in the country's largest simultaneous regional elections on Wednesday, with President Prabowo Subianto seeking to consolidate his grip on power.
More than 200 million people were eligible to vote to choose dozens of governors and mayors, as well as 415 regents, with some candidates linked to former leader Joko Widodo, known as Jokowi, vying for coveted positions considered pathways to higher functions.
The race for Jakarta governor was in focus, with political parties viewing the position as a stepping stone to the presidency. Jokowi successfully won the presidential election after serving as governor of the capital for two years.
Polls were open from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. in all three time zones across the archipelago's vast nations, and voting went largely smoothly in Jakarta, where some organizers set up makeshift booths at schools and at the side of the roads.
Grocery store clerk Reni Apriani, 54, said she wants Jakarta's next governor to focus attention on solving problems plaguing the megacity, including flooding.
The government must be able to anticipate to avoid flooding, she told Agence France-Presse (AFP), adding that she hoped the new leaders would also be able to provide jobs for young people at unemployment.
Muhammad Arif, 49, said he hoped the new governor would address traffic congestion, a long-standing problem in the city where traffic is often backed up during rush hours.
I live on the road, I always use motorcycle transportation. So the traffic is very annoying, it's like I'm growing old on the road, the real estate agent explained to AFP.
Made Supriatma, a political researcher and visiting scholar at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore, said the election was very important for the Prabowos government.
He needs to have his people at the regional level to ensure his government functions effectively, Made said.
