Prabowo Subianto, original defence secretary, was sworn in as the seventh chairman of Indonesia on Sunday in Jakarta.
In the nation’s capital, thousands of supporters cheered as Subianto took his oath of oath in a ceremony held by politicians and foreign dignitaries.
Leaders and representatives from over 40 states, including the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Saudi Arabia, Russia, South Korea, China, Australia, and many Southeast Asian nations, attended the oath-taking service.
Subianto has previously faced allegations of human rights abuses during Indonesia’s military dictator.
Subianto, 73, was a rival of previous President Joko Widodo and contested against him in the 2014 and 2019 national elections. But, Widodo appointed Subianto as defence secretary after his election, leading to an ally despite their political differences.
During his plan, Subianto promised to continue Widodo’s procedures, such as building a new capital city and restricting fresh stuff exports to enhance home business.
Subianto, who was heavily supported by Widodo, won the February national vote.
