Presidential candidate Anies Baswedan has shot down the idea of moving the country’s administrative capital from Jakarta to Nusantara, saying this will create “new inequality” among different regions.

“What is needed in Indonesia today is equitable growth where development is carried out not just in one location, but also in many locations,” he said.
