Indonesia’s election committee officially declared Prabowo Subianto the winner of the February 14 presidential polls, securing over 58% of the vote. It was Prabowo’s third attempt, after losing twice to outgoing President Joko Widodo. He will assume office alongside Vice President-elect Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who is Joko Widodo’s son. Prabowo, the ex-son-in-law of former Indonesian dictator Suharto, is a U.S-backed former general who has been implicated in mass killings in East Timor, Papua and Aceh, as well as the kidnapping and torture of activists in Jakarta.
