In what has been termed the world’s biggest election to be held in a day, approximately 205 million Indonesians are eligible to vote for their next president and vice-president on February 14. The voters will also choose their executive and legislative representatives at all administrative levels across the world's fourth most populous nation.

The three pairs of candidates vying for president and vice-president include the defence minister Prabowo Subianto, former governor of Jakarta Anies Baswedan, and former Central Java governor Ganjar Pranowo.  

Incumbent president Joko Widodo, popularly known as Jokowi, is constitutionally barred from seeking a third term. However, Mr Widodo’s influence is evident throughout this election. His eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, 36, is running for vice-president alongside Mr Prabowo.

Dynastic politics has been the subject of debate and dominated the headlines, with some accusing Mr Widodo of attempting to retain his influence after leaving office. What are his intentions? Has he overplayed his hand?
