'Dynasty in the making' as Jokowi's shadow hangs over Indonesia vote

JAKARTA: Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo (pic) has led Indonesia for a nearly a decade pledging to do things differently, but he stands accused of manoeuvring to build his own political dynasty in next month's presidential vote in a country long known for its nepotistic politics.

The incumbent president is barred from a third term but remains hugely popular, with observers saying he is using his influence to install his sons into prominent political positions, moves that have raised eyebrows in the archipelago nation.
