Calls mount for Jokowi to take campaign leave


JAKARTA: President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo (pic) faces growing pressure to take an unpaid leave of absence following his recent comments about reserving the right to take sides in the 2024 presidential election.

Jokowi made headlines last week when, in response to questions from the press, he said that a sitting president was entitled by law to take sides and campaign for the candidate of his or her choosing, provided that no state facilities are used in the process.
