Indonesian President Joko Widodo is handing over the reins, even as his popularity remains high. During his term, Jokowi has started many economic and infrastructure projects, and raised Indonesia's international profile. At the same time, issues of inequality, corruption and tensions over Chinese investments remain. Unusually, the outgoing president appears to be quite involved in the upcoming race, with some observers seeing favour towards one candidate.
