The story so far

1 publisher has covered this in 2 articles since 20 Oct 2026. The Economist published first, on 20 October at 16:28 UTC. The most recent article, from The Economist, appeared on 22 October at 12:59 UTC.

One prediction market prices this story:

  • Will Prabowo Subianto cease to be President of Indonesia by December 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 5%, with $263 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Prabowo Subianto stops being President at any point before December 31, 2026, including through resignation, removal, or detention. An official announcement of his departure triggers an immediate Yes resolution, even if the change takes effect later. Readers often mistake the deadline for when he actually leaves office rather than when the event occurs.
