The ruling party PDIP gave a positive response to a potential meeting between its matriarch, Megawati Soekarnoputri, and media mogul Surya Paloh, who is the chairman of Nasdem Party. Earlier, Nasdem revealed a plan of a meeting between Paloh and Megawati soon in the near future. The meeting, if it happens, is worth monitoring in relation to a question on the position of both parties after 2024 election and toward the next administration.

Ganjar Pranowo, a presidential candidate from a coalition led by the ruling party PDIP, still cannot believe that he ended up at the bottom with such a small amount of votes based on quick count from seven pollsters. Ganjar, who is also former governor of Central Java for two periods, considered it as an anomaly because the quick count from the same pollsters also pointed to PDIP’s victory in the legislative election.
