Indonesia's Prabowo gets support from biggest party, but no coalition deal yet
Indonesia's largest political party said it would support incoming president Prabowo Subianto, but it was unclear on Thursday whether it would formally join his already dominant coalition just days ahead of the inauguration ceremony. If Prabowo, who will take over the presidency on Sunday, can reach a deal with the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) there would be no opposition parties in parliament, an unprecedented situation since Indonesia began holding direct presidential elections in 2004. "We're solid in supporting the incoming government as a way to build Indonesia's future," Puan Maharani, house speaker and a senior PDIP official, said on Wednesday, according to state media.

STORY: :: BTS member J-Hope is welcomed by fans after completing South Korea's mandatory military service:: October 17, 2024:: Wonju, South Korea“For a year and a half in military service, I’ve realised that there is a lot of hard work, dedication, and a lot of other things that our military do for our country. That’s why I think it would mean a lot if residents of our country could show some love and support to our military. “J-Hope, 30, is the second member of the seven-member group to wrap up the national service that has put their music careers on hold, after oldest member Jin finished his service in June.The final four members of the group began their service in December 2023, with the band expected to reunite in 2025 after all have completed their military duty.South Korea requires all able-bodied men between the ages of 18 and 28 to serve between 18 and 21 months in the military or social service, but it revised the law in 2020 to let globally recognized K-pop stars delay signing up until age 30.
