Taufiq Rahman, Editor-in-Chief of The Jakarta Post, briefed Asia House corporate network on Indonesia’s upcoming elections in 2024 and their potential ramifications for the business community at an exclusive Asia House Briefing in Jakarta.

The briefing centred on a thorough examination of the evolving electoral coalitions and likelihood of a two-way contest. Rahman highlighted what to expect from the final selection of running mates, delving into the influential factors guiding voters’ decisions and preferences.

With the growing global emphasis on energy transition and decarbonisation, the candidates’ positions on EVs and down streaming have become instrumental in economic policy discussions. Rahman asserted the different approaches each presidential candidate might adopt, underpinned by their respective orientations.

Chaired by Asia House Chief Executive Michael Lawrence OBE and held in Jakarta, the briefing gave Asia House corporate network an insightful perspective into Indonesia’s dynamic social, political, and economic landscape. It also offered a deeper understanding of the variables shaping the impending election outcomes.
