Indonesia candidates call on president to remain neutral ahead of poll

[Collection]Two potential successors of Indonesian president Joko Widodo, Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo, have called on him to remain neutral in the upcoming election. There are concerns that Widodo may be trying to retain power and build a political dynasty. Widodo has publicly stated that he will not interfere in the election, but he has tacitly supported defence minister Prabowo Subianto, who is running with Widodo's son. Analysts believe that Widodo's endorsement carries significant weight due to his high approval ratings.
