JAKARTA (Bloomberg): Indonesia’s largest party has officially expelled former President Joko Widodo after he spurned the party’s own candidate in February elections and backed Prabowo Subianto’s successful campaign to become leader of South-East Asia’s biggest economy.
Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle Chairwoman, known as PDI-P, Megawati Soekarnoputri made the decision to expel Jokowi, as the former leader is popularly known, along with his eldest son and son-in-law, according to senior party official Komarudin Watubun. More than two dozen party members were also dimissed.
