With the help of TikTok: General with a dark past wants to become Indonesia's president. Around 205 million of the almost 280 million people in Muslim-majority Indonesia are called to vote on a successor to President Joko Widodo.
Prabowo Subianto is said to have been involved in human rights violations in the then East Timor province in the 1980s. The general has apparently learned from his first two unsuccessful attempts to become president: instead of playing the strong man who made nationalistic speeches and campaigned on horseback, he is now playing the likeable grandpa.
