The claim is partially true but oversimplifies their relationship. Prabowo and Jokowi were indeed electoral rivals (2014, 2019), but Jokowi appointed Prabowo as Defense Minister and later supported his 2024 candidacy—showing they moved beyond antagonism. However, their relationship has recently deteriorated significantly due to conflicting political interests, making 'adversaries' an incomplete description of their complex, evolving dynamic.
