Rappler is in Jakarta covering the Presidential Debate between Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto

JAKARTA, Indonesia – With just four days to go before Indonesia chooses its next leader, the two pairs of candidates vying to become the leaders of Southeast Asia’s biggest country went head-to-head in the last of five debates.

The debate on food security, energy, and environmental issues marked the end of a month-long campaign period that saw the once-seemingly-insurmountable lead of Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo over former general Prabowo Subianto dwindle to just a few points. The stakes are high for Indonesia.

With the race now too close to call, both pairs of candidates are mounting a last-ditch effort to convince swing voters they deserve their vote on Wednesday, July 9.
