KARAWANG, Indonesia - A crowd of villagers cheers as a holographic image of Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo appears at a campaign rally outside the capital, Jakarta.
Widodo hopes to extend his reach with hologram technology, deployed also by leaders such as India’s Narendra Modi and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdorgan in recent years, as a way of seeming to appear in several places at once. Ninik, a young voter at this week’s rally, said she enjoyed the experience. “It feels like Jokowi is here with us,” she added, using a popular nickname for the president.“This is really helpful in the campaign,” one of Widodo’s campaign organizers said of the holograms.
About 192 million people, including five million young people voting for the first time, are eligible to cast their ballots in the fiercely contested race, in which most opinion polls give Widodo a comfortable lead.
