Valentine’s Day this year will take on new significance for Indonesians, as they head to the polls today to determine who replaces Joko Widodo as their next president. 

For the first time in 15 years, Indonesia is seeing a three-horse race for the presidency, with defence minister Prabowo Subianto, former Jakarta governor Anies Baswedan, and former Central Java governor Ganjar Pranowo in the running. 

Who could be Indonesia's next president? And how will the results impact Indonesia’s future, as well as its relationships with its regional peers?

Nicholas Fang, Managing Director, Black Dot and Director for Security and Global Affairs, Singapore Institute of International Affairs weighs in.
