THAT Prabowo Subianto is leading the pack for next month’s presidential race in Indonesia is thanks in no small measure to his campaign platform, which vows to protect and continue the legacy of outgoing President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo.

Prabowo is channelling Jokowi, and more and more voters are falling for it.
