Prabowo Subianto: From Fearsome Figure to ‘Cuddly Grandpa’
Once feared by many Indonesians for his controversial past, Prabowo Subianto, now 72, is winning over young voters with a softer image.
Despite past allegations of human rights abuses, he’s gained popularity, especially among millennials and Gen Z, who find his social media-friendly persona endearing.
As he vies for Indonesia’s presidency, his promise of stability and economic growth resonates with voters, even though concerns remain about his past actions.
With the support of President Joko Widodo’s son as his running mate, Prabowo’s campaign focuses on charm and accessibility.
Yet, skeptics worry about his suitability for leadership, given his troubled history and unpredictable temperament.
