Despite his checkered past, the defense minister is commanding surprisingly strong support from young Indonesians. By Sebastian Strangio The Diplomat / July 25, 2023 On Sunday, the Indonesian polling agency Indikator published the results of a survey asking 1,220 prospective voters who they are likely to support at next year’s presidential election. Leading the three most likely contenders, albeit by a slim margin, was Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto, a Suharto-era special forces commander who has twice run for the presidency. According to Indikator, the poll showed Prabowo with the support of 36.8 percent of respondents, narrowly ahead of Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo with 35.7 percent and former Jakarta governor Anies Baswedan with 21.5 percent, according to a summary by Reuters. In a two-way race, Prabowo had a clear lead over Ganjar, 49.5 percent to 40.9 percent. The Indikator survey was just the latest to show the former special forces commander pulling ahead of the youthful and charismatic Ganjar. A survey released earlier this month by the pollster Lingkaran Survei Indonesia showed Prabowo in the lead for the first time, with a 34.3 percent approval rating, ahead of Ganjar (32.7 percent) and Anies (22.1 percent). What was striking about the Indikator survey, however, is that it was heavily weighted towards younger voters, with more than 60 percent of respondents below the age of 42. This was intended to provide an accurate sample of Indonesia’s youthful demography; according to Indonesian electoral data cited by Reuters, more than half of registered voters, around 107 million people, are under 40. The results suggest that Prabowo may at last be in reach, after failed bids against President Joko Widodo in 2014 and 2019. Prabowo seems an unlikely choice for younger voters, compared with his relatively youthful rivals. (Both Ganjar and Anies are 54 years of age.) Prabowo, who rose through the military ranks under Suharto’s New Order administration, and was once a son-in-law to the Indonesian generalissimo, has been credibly implicated in a litany of human rights abuses, including atrocities committed in the conflict zones of East Timor and Aceh, and the | P2 ► |
