JAKARTA: Indonesia's Defense Minister and presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto said on Sunday he had chosen the eldest son of President Joko Widodo to be his running mate in next year's election.

The choice of 36-year-old Gibran Rakabuming Raka, currently the mayor of the southern city of Surakarta, as a vice presidential candidate for the February 2024 vote has fueled criticism that Widodo is trying to create a political dynasty in the world's third-largest democracy.
