If confirmed in the official tally next month, the 72-year-old would fulfil a decades-long dream of high office. Victory would also install the 36-year-old son of popular incumbent Joko Widodo as the nation’s vice-president.

Defense Minister Prabowo says Indonesia "must assume the new responsibilities that come with its position as an emerging power."

Prabowo Subianto, Ganjar Pranowo and Anies Baswedan spar over human rights and law in their first televised encounter.

The three candidates said that the lunch with the president was a relaxed, informal gathering without any "weighty topics" on the agenda.

JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): Presumptive presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto has renamed his augmented electoral alliance after President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo’s cabinet and has asserted it represents “team Jokowi”, as he seeks to portray himself as the popular president’s rightful successor.

Catra is seen as an umbrella that has a very deep Buddhist philosophical and spiritual meaning.

The planned meeting between Jokowi and Megawati comes amid rumors of growing tensions between the two influential figures within the PDI-P after Megawati reportedly nominated Ganjar in April without consulting the President.

President Joko Jokowi Widodo is scheduled to attend the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) national working meeting in Jakarta from Tuesday to Thursday, along with party matriarch Megawati Soekarnoputri and the partys presidential candidate Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo.
