SLEMAN, KOMPAS — Approaching the political year of 2018, the political elite’s maturity is set to be sorely tested. They are expected to be able to present quality political contestation and avoid racial and religious sentiments to win the race.

This emerged during the Teras Kita Dialog titled “2018 Outlook: Indonesia’s Challenge in the Political Year” on Friday in the Senate Hall at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) in Sleman, Yogyakarta. The event was organized by Kompas and the Gadjah Mada University Alumni Association (Kagama).
