Abuses-accused defence minister Prabowo enters Indonesia presidential race

Prabowo Subianto said he was ready for the presidential bid.

The powerful minister is a controversial figure at home and internationally, having been accused of human rights abuses including involvement in the kidnapping and disappearance of pro-democracy activists in 1998.

"I am ready to keep fighting for the nation and the people, all my life and soul will be dedicated to our motherland," Prabowo told the party meeting on the outskirts of the capital Jakarta. After his second defeat, Subianto and his team claimed the poll results were fraudulent, triggering protests in the capital that turned violent, with multiple deaths."That's how democracy works. If a minister comes to me and tells me there's no way I'd say no, I can't do that," Widodo told journalists late Friday.
