Rising Indonesia presidential candidate pledges change from Widodo era

AniesBaswedan, a former governor of the capital Jakarta and one of Indonesia's leading presidential candidates is in a three-way battle ahead of February's vote to lead the world's third largest democracy and fourth most populous nation, with polls showing him rising toward a spot in a potential second-round runoff. 

He has sought to paint himself as an alternative to the other two candidates, frontrunner and current Defence Minister PrabowoSubianto and Governor of Central Java, who has the backing of incumbent President Joko Widodo's party. Both have promised to largely carry on the current administration's policies.
