Kaesang Pangarep, the youngest son of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, is seeking to run in the 2024 regional elections. According to the latest news, Kaesang might run for mayor in Depok (West Java), a city that has been controlled by the opposition party PKS for the last two decades.

The Lembaga Survei Indonesia (LSI) recently released the results of its latest electability survey on potential candidates for the 2024 presidential race. Another interesting finding from the survey that is worth highlighting is the electability of the Mayor of Solo Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who is the eldest son of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, that surprisingly was above Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) and Puan Maharani.

The Research & Development Department (Litbang) of Kompas, the largest newspaper in Indonesia, predicted that Ganjar Pranowo might suffer a potential loss of votes after a polemic surrounding the FIFA U-20 World Cup. Ganjar, as we all know, was among governors from the ruling party PDIP that rejected the participation of Israel in U-20 World Cup that eventually led Indonesia to lose the hosting rights of the tournament. Assuming voters will keep that in mind to the voting booths in February 2024 and that we will have a three-horse race.

The volunteer groups of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo have just held the so-called Musyawarah Rakyat (Musra), a presidential convention, in three provinces where they found Prabowo Subianto secured the most votes. These volunteer groups plan to hold the final convention in Jakarta on May 21, 2023, and the President is expected to attend the event.

The current Vice Chief of the National Police (Wakapolri), Comr. Gen. Gatot Eddy Pramono, will soon enter his mandatory retirement age in June 2023. Therefore, the race for the next Wakapolri has begun with some names being mentioned as potential candidates. Who are they?

The Minister of Tourism & Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno, who is a key leader of Prabowo Subianto’s Gerindra Party, recently attended an event held by the opposition party PKS in Cikarang, Bekasi, West Java, where he met with PKS Chairman Ahmad Syaikhu. Sandi addressed a rumor about his resignation from Gerindra and the possibility of him becoming a running mate of Anies Baswedan in 2024 presidential race.

President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo continues his working visit in Central Java, the third largest province in Indonesia. Ganjar Pranowo, governor of Central Java, accompanied the President during the working visit on Monday (April 10). This development is worth highlighting given what happened between Ganjar and the President after the world’s football governing body FIFA revoked Indonesia’s hosting rights of U-20 World Cup.

The fifth President Megawati Soekarnoputri, who is the chairperson of the ruling party PDIP, attended the 77th anniversary event of the Indonesian Air Force (TNI AU) on Sunday (April 9). President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, meanwhile, wasn’t present in the event and he only gave a speech through a video message. This development is worth highlighting in light of 2024 race.

A new survey from the Lembaga Survei Indonesia (LSI) found the electability rating of Ganjar Pranowo dropped significantly. Moreover, LSI found that the rating of ruling party PDIP, Ganjar’s political party, was in decline as well.
