Indonesia's new capital hinges on election as Jokowi set to exit

JAKARTA/NUSANTARA, Indonesia -- A great chrome and glass building in the shape of a winged bird rises half-built from the jungles of Borneo.

Two years ago, this was a sprawling eucalyptus plantation, but in seven months the structure will be Indonesia's presidential palace, perched on a hill overlooking the new capital, Nusantara. Evoking the Garuda, a legendary eagle of Indonesian folktales, work crews are scurrying to finish the palace in time to host the nation's annual independence celebration in August.
