Indonesian President Jokowi Dismisses Talks of Establishing Political Dynasty
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

As Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo nears the end of his second and final term, he shrugged off mounting criticism suggesting the formation of a political dynasty, emphasizing that the decision about leadership should rest with the people. Amid approaching elections on February 14, the appointment of relatives to key political positions has triggered concerns in a nation that liberated itself from autocratic rule a quarter-century ago.

When questioned about dynastic politics, the President, known popularly as Jokowi, simply stated to reporters, “Just leave it to the people,” without delving into further detail. Notably, his youngest son, Kaesang Pangarep, assumed leadership of a youth party last month shortly after joining, while his son-in-law serves as the mayor of Medan.

With Jokowi’s eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, already serving as the mayor of Solo and being considered a strong contender for the vice presidency, the issue of political dynasties remains a subject of concern, especially with the formidable presence of former special forces commander Prabowo Subianto in the upcoming presidential race.

Indonesia has a history of dynastic politics, exemplified during the extended tenure of strongman President Suharto, whose eldest daughter held a cabinet minister position. Further, Megawati Sukarnoputri, the daughter of Indonesia’s first president Sukarno, herself served as president and currently leads the largest party in parliament, with her own daughter serving as the speaker of the house.

The impending race to govern the world’s third-largest democracy sees a dominant trio of candidates, including Prabowo, currently leading in opinion polls, along with former Central Java province Governor Ganjar Pranowo and former Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan. These contenders, along with their respective running mates, are anticipated to register as official candidates from October 19 to October 25.
