Key Messages
↗ In February 2024, Indonesians will vote in the single biggest election in the country’s history.
↗ Their vote will determine the next President, Indonesia’s central decision-maker, as well as the make-up of the national parliament.
↗ This election matters for Australia, because the priorities and preferences of the Indonesian president substantially shape the country’s foreign policy agenda and Australia’s place within it.
