- 12 years ago
On Wednesday, July 8, the third most populous democracy in the world after India and the US goes to the polls. It is only the second time Indonesians will vote directly for a president since its transition to democracy after the fall of Suharto. Can the current president convince Indonesians that he should be the one to continue the economic progress and reforms he started or will nationalistic fervor push one of the other two candidates to the front?
