JAKARTA -- Voters in Indonesia will go to the polls Wednesday to choose a new president in a race that has become too close to call.
Until recently, Jakarta Gov. Joko Widodo, widely known as Jokowi, appeared to have a comfortable lead, but former military commander Prabowo Subianto is fighting back strongly. At stake is control of a country with a population of 240 million and major clout within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
