Rapper Iwa Kusuma proudly announced recently that he voted after 20 years of abstaining from voting in elections.
The musician said he cast his vote in the election for Jakarta governor.
“Since 1987, I haven’t voted … just this year, I voted,” the 41-year-old told kompas.com on Wednesday.
The man, who just recently joined the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), said his reason for voting had been encouraged by his hope for change.
“I feel I needed to do something … the purpose is for Indonesia,” he said.
