Ganjar-Mahfud: Pros and Cons
Megawati Soekarnoputri, the chairperson of the ruling party PDIP, named Mahfud MD as the running mate for Ganjar Pranowo. The pairing will register themselves at the General Election Commission (KPU) today (Oct. 19), which is the first day of registration for presidential and vice-presidential candidates. Let’s talk a bit about their chance in 2024 race.
Ganjar with(out) Jokowi
Looks like that PDIP and its coalition partners are confident enough that they can enter the 2024 presidential election without support from outgoing president and PDIP cadre Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo.

Projo declares Prabowo, but…
Pretty much as predicted Pro Jokowi (Projo), one of volunteers group of President Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo, has officially declared Prabowo Subianto as its president candidate in 2024 election, whilst not in front of Jokowi himself.
No Prabowo Declaration from Pro-Jokowi
Supporters of Prabowo Subianto, including political parties nominating him in 2024 presidential race, should have been disappointed by ‘further’ delay of a declaration of support from Pro-Jokowi (Projo), which claimed itself one of the largest groups of volunteers.
