Prabowo Subianto Djojohadikusumo (EYD: Prabowo Subianto Joyohadikusumo, born 17 October 1951) is an Indonesian politician, businessman and retired honorary army general who is the president-elect of Indonesia and current Minister of Defense.[1] Prabowo is the third Indonesian President from the military after Suharto and Susilo Bambang Yudhyono. In 1998, he was discharged from the military and subsequently banned from entering the United States until 2020 for allegedly committing human rights abuses.[2][3][4][5][6]
Prabowo Subianto graduated from the Indonesian Military Academy in 1970 and mostly served in the Special Forces (Kopassus) until he was appointed to lead the Strategic Reserve Command (Kostrad) in 1998. He has been described as a right-wing nationalist.[7][8][9]
In early 2008, Prabowo's inner circle established the Gerindra Party. In the 2009 presidential election, he ran unsuccessfully for the vice presidency as Megawati Sukarnoputri's running mate.[10] He contested the 2014 presidential election[11] and was defeated by Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo, which he initially disputed.[12] He made another unsuccessful run for the presidency in 2019 with Sandiaga Uno as his running mate and with the support of Gerindra, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), the National Mandate Party (PAN), the Democratic Party and Berkarya Party.[13][14] His refusal to accept the result saw his followers stage protests that sparked deadly riots in Jakarta.[15] However, after a heated contestation, Prabowo Subianto joined the cabinet as Minister of Defense for the 2019 to 2024 period.[16]
On 10 October 2021, Gerindra announced Prabowo Subianto as their candidate in the 2024 Indonesian presidential election.[17] On 12 August 2022, Prabowo Subianto announced that he accepted Gerindra's nomination to contest the 2024 presidential election.[18] Prabowo declared victory in the election on 14 February, as early unofficial polling showed him with a lead in the first round of voting.[19] On March 20, the General Election Commission certified the results and declared him as the president-elect of Indonesia.[1] Constitutional Court confirmed his status on 22 April 2024.[20][21][22] Joko Widodo's administration is currently preparing for the transitional process to Prabowo's future administration.[23]
