Voters to decide on new leadership in a pivotal election focused on economic and social issues.

Indonesia's presidential election is set for February 14, with Prabowo Subianto, Ganjar Pranowo, and Anies Baswedan as the main candidates.
Prabowo Subianto, backed by outgoing President Joko Widodo, leads in the polls with a campaign focused on nationalism and populist promises.
The election will mark Indonesia's first leadership change in a decade, with over 204 million people registered to vote across the archipelago.
Key issues in the election include cost-of-living concerns, inequality, and the continuation of Jokowi's initiatives such as infrastructure development.
The new president will inherit a strong economy but faces challenges in sustaining growth, addressing youth unemployment, and managing foreign relations.
