The endorsement from the "Projo" network, seen as a proxy for the president

JAKARTA (Reuters) - The vast volunteer network of outgoing Indonesian President Joko Widodo on Saturday endorsed retired general Prabowo Subianto for president in February's election.

The endorsement from the "Projo" network, seen as a proxy for the president, is the strongest signal yet that the incumbent will back his former rival in the closely contested race.
