JAKARTA: The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) signalled on Thursday (Feb 15) it would be taking up the role of an opposition party to the future government, as presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto appeared poised to succeed President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo.

One day after Prabowo claimed victory in Wednesday’s presidential election, PDI-P secretary-general Hasto Kristiyanto hinted at the readiness of the party to go into opposition after being the largest party in the ruling coalition for the past 10 years.
