JAKARTA: The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle on Friday announced that Central Java governor Ganjar Pranowo will be its presidential candidate for the upcoming election next year.
Prior to the Friday announcement, local media reported that Mdm Soekarnoputri wanted to nominate Puan Maharani - who is also the parliamentary speaker - as PDI-P’s presidential candidate. However, polls had shown that Puan Maharani’s electability is below 10 per cent. Potential presidential and vice-presidential candidates must then register themselves with the elections commission this October if they want to contest in the polls on Feb 14, 2024.
