    Lecture Abstract

    The 2014 Indonesian Presidential Election has yielded two teams comprising Prabowo Subianto – Hatta Rajasa and Joko Widodo (Jokowi) – Jusuf Kalla (JK) competing neck and neck in a tight race for the nation’s highest office. Come July 9th, Indonesia will witness a new president taking office after current president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono steps down from his second and last term. Based on recent survey results, the margin between the two competing presidential and vice-presidential candidate teams have narrowed considerably. Such a phenomenon is quite unprecedented in Indonesia and it raises a few questions of concern:

    What can one glimpse from current voter preferences for either candidate team? What will be the challenges faced by either the Prabowo-Hatta team or the Jokowi-JK team if they were to win in the 2014 Presidential Election? What is the likelihood of a post-election backlash given the increasingly tight competition? How will the current political configuration and coalitional forces within both camps change following the announcement of the new president?

    We are privileged to have Dr. Phillips Vermonte who is the Head of the Department of Politics and International Relations at CSIS, Jakarta, Indonesia and Mr. Tobias Basuki, a researcher at the Department of Politics and International Relations, CSIS to share their thoughts and insights on the possible outcomes of the 2014 Presidential Elections and the potential implications the 2014 Legislative Elections present to the 2014-2019 administration.
