Prabowo Subianto, poised to become Indonesia’s next president, took aim at energy subsidies to fund some of his campaign pledges in his first policy proposal.
The ex-general, who on Wednesday claimed victory after securing nearly 60% of votes in unofficial quick counts, could also invite his rival candidates and parties to join his government as he seeks to consolidate power to push ahead with his policies, Eddy Soeparno, vice-chairman of his campaign team, said in a Bloomberg Television interview with Haslinda Amin.
