Prabowo Marks Year Two Amidst Sluggish Economic Growth and Polling Silence

As Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto enters the second year of his administration, he is confronted with significant hurdles, including sluggish economic growth, persistently high youth unemployment rates, and issues surrounding a costly free meals initiative. Compounding these challenges is a new worry: a noticeable decline in voter support, which is obscured by the absence of reliable public polling throughout his initial year in office.
Political analyst Kevin O’Rourke remarked, “The lack of credible polls released since February suggests that any polling conducted has likely indicated a drop in support for Prabowo. No polling organization seems willing to publish results that could displease the president.”
