Indonesia’s 2024 presidential election will boil down to a fight between VP candidates: Analysts
JAKARTA - With the top three presidential hopefuls neck and neck in electability polls, the outcome of Indonesia’s 2024 election may hinge on the popularity of each candidate’s running mate.
The latest survey involving more than 1,200 respondents across Indonesian provinces in early April put Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto, 71, as a front runner with 30.3 per cent support. “Uncertainty is higher compared with the previous presidential elections because no one held a dominant position among the top three . Hence, the choice of a vice-presidential candidate would be a very big deciding factor,” said political observer Burhanuddin Muhtadi in a recent discussion on Jakarta-based TVOne.
Mr Sandiaga is a familiar face to cadres from Indonesian Islamic-leaning parties, while Mr Ridwan could well complement Mr Ganjar, who is weak in West Java, Indonesia’s most populous province.
