Indonesia is gearing up for a crucial presidential election on February 14, anticipated to be a turning point for Southeast Asia's largest economy and its international relations, particularly with China and the United States. The election, discussed by @CPR_India's @Chellaney as part of a significant geopolitical reconfiguration, will see a high turnout from the 204 million eligible voters in a young and dynamic democracy. With President Joko Widodo stepping down, the all-male presidential race has underscored the potential decisive role of women voters. Candidates have vowed to empower the anti-corruption agency to combat widespread graft. @JoshKurlantzick of CFR_org notes this election's importance in the context of democratic trends in the region.
