2018 was the 20th anniversary of Reformasi, the people-power movement that toppled authoritarian leader Suharto, after 32 years in power, and ushered in Indonesia's democratic transition. The world's largest Muslim-majority nation has since made significant reforms to its political system to become the world's third biggest democracy. The military has been removed from parliament and serving officers are banned from politics so that the military no longer has a formal role in the political process. Wide-ranging decentralizing measures were also introduced as an antidote to the stifling centralisation of Suharto's New Order regime, and the country's first direct presidential elections were held in 2004
