Indonesia’s 3 presidential contenders vow peaceful campaigns ahead of next year election

Indonesia's three presidential candidates have pledged to run a peaceful campaign, avoiding ethnic, religious, and racial issues and refraining from using bribes to influence voters.
The upcoming election in February will determine the successor to President Joko Widodo, who is serving his final term. If no candidate receives over 50% of the votes in the first round, a runoff will be held on June 26.
Subianto, Pranowo, and Baswedan are the main contenders, with Subianto having ties to hard-line Islamists, Pranowo facing criticism over his comments on Israeli participation in a soccer tournament, and Baswedan known for his involvement in protests against a former governor.
