Summary: Prabowo Subianto was sworn in as Indonesia's eighth president on Sunday after winning nearly 60% of the vote in February. He promises free meals for school children, economic growth, and a stronger global presence for Indonesia.

Prabowo, a former special forces commander, is joined by Gibran Rakabuming Raka, the son of outgoing President Joko Widodo. The inauguration was marked by large crowds and strict security measures, with over 100,000 police and military personnel deployed.
