Possible 2024 Political Constellation
The Secretary General of the ruling party PDIP, Hasto Kristiyanto, sent a signal about a potential coalition between PDIP and PPP to endorse Ganjar Pranowo. Prabowo Subianto (Gerindra), meanwhile, is in intensive talks with Airlangga Hartarto (Golkar).
Sandiaga’s Maneuver (4)
After a long time of speculations, Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno finally tendered his resignation from Gerindra, a political party led by Prabowo Subianto. Many believe that Sandi’s resignation is a move to boost his chance at entering 2024 race.
Prabowo may be Key to 2024 Race
It appears that Prabowo Subianto, the chairman of Gerindra Party, is not willing to become a running mate for Ganjar Pranowo, who has been nominated by the ruling party PDIP as presidential candidate. Will Prabowo face Ganjar in the 2024 presidential race? Will we see a three-horse race in 2024, assuming Anies Baswedan will have a ticket as well?
The train moves faster
Pretty much as predicted, the train moved faster within 24 hours since PDI-P formally declared Ganjar Pranowo as its president candidate. Some might have wondered whether President Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo was caught by surprises with PDI-P chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri’s decision to announce the nomination hours before the end of fasting month Ramadhan.
Ganjar Finally
Ending years of speculation, Ganjar Pranowo, governor of Central Java, has on Friday (Apr 21) officially been nominated president candidate in 2024 election by PDI-P chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri.
Megawati’s Lebaran meeting
More media outlets reported that Megawati Soekarnoputri, the chairperson of the ruling party PDIP, might announce Ganjar Pranowo as presidential candidate today on April 21. If it’s true, Megawati’s meeting with the other party chairmen, including Prabowo Subianto of Gerindra Party, tomorrow on the Lebaran day (Eid al-Fitr) will be quite interesting to watch.
