Jakarta, mar 29:
Indonesia’s president has started beaming a hologram of himself to reach voters in key battleground provinces as he shuttles around the Southeast Asian archipelago ahead of national polls.
Joko Widodo, running for re-election in the world’s third-biggest democracy, has a tight schedule so he and his vice-presidential running mate are projecting three-dimensional images of themselves at some campaign rallies, his team said.The high-tech campaign launched this week and is targeting the heavily populated provinces of West, Central and East Java — seen as key sources of support.
More than 190 million people are registered to vote on April 17, with thousands running for seats in parliament and local councils across Indonesia, the world’s biggest Muslim majority nation.
Like the candidate himself, Widodo’s life-sized hologram will keep moving across the Southeast Asian nation in the coming weeks.
