“As a member of Golkar, I am very proud of Suharto because he successfully developed Indonesia,” Aksa wrote on X.
The Golkar-produced Suharto video was just one of dozens featured in official party campaigns, they said.
AI photos made by supporters, have also been used by Ganjar’s party in his campaign.
