Indonesia General Election (President and Parliament) 2024 news and update

[Indos]

I suspect Indonesia next President will likely be Ganjar Pranowo. Currently he is head to head with Prabowo Subianto. I think he can win debate against Prabowo and will likely increase the voters after debates is conducted.

PDIP then must get ally from Islamist parties like PPP or Nahdatul Ulama by making either Sandiaga Uno (endorsed by PPP) or Erick Thohir (most probably endorsed by Nahdatul Ulama) as his VP in order to win votes outside East and Central Java.

VP for Ganjar I would say will likely between these two, both are Jokowi economic teams and successful entrepreneurs, both are likely able to make sure that Jokowi economic policy and reform will continue. Very market friendly IMO.

JAKARTA – With less than a year left before Indonesia’s next general election, relations between the two most influential leaders in the ruling Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) have soured, with the choice of a presidential and vice-presidential candidate pairing the main bone of contention.

At the centre of tensions is the selection of a vice-presidential candidate to run with PDI-P’s recently declared presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo, 54, a senior party member.

Yenni Wahid (48 years old) is likely picked by Anies as his Vice President candidacy. Ganjar Pranowo also has chance to pick her as his VP candidate.

Youtubers also play part as well in strenghening or weakening certain figures or political parties. This is the example of Youtubers who are pro Anies Baswedan.

 

[Indos]

PAN, GOLKAR enter Prabowo coalition. Prabowo is supported by 4 parties, PAN, GERINDRA, PKB, GOLKAR.

If Prabowo and Ganjar win first election, I hope Anies Baswedan coalition support Ganjar Pranowo for the next round of election when there will be only two candidate.

 

[Indos]

There is indeed split and clash between Jokowi and Megawati Soekarno Putri. Now Jokowi will be neutral, he will not support Ganjar as like he did before. I speculate this because Ganjar is more alligned to Megawati then to Jokowi.

Megawati is more pro-business than both Prabowo and Anies coalition. Anies is the most populist one. This is what I understand from this three power that are now competing.

I dont support Prabowo because he likely will waste much money to buy imported defense equipment. Ganjar and Megawati are more responsible in spending gov money IMO. There is possibility BRIN (Gov research department) will get huge money if Ganjar becomes President. Megawati is currently controlling BRIN.

 

[Indos]

I hope there will be joined Ganjar-Anies Coalition vs Prabowo in second round. There I hope AHY will be Defense Minister. With AHY become Indonesian Defense Minister, I have high hope for KF21/IFX development and more support on Indonesian SOE defense holding (and also private defense companies like InfoGlobal)

--------------------------------------------------------------------


My take : Ganjar popularity is in increasing mode currently, his popularity was down due to the FIFA World Cup Under 20 event when his stance make FIFA canceled the tournament in Indonesia. People will likely forgive that after FIFA once again give Indonesia the opportunity to host FIFA World Cup this year for U17 competition.

Sandiaga Uno as representation of Sumatra (Non Javanese) and Islamist power (PPP is Islamic Party) I think is a good choice for Ganjar Vice President.

Update

PKB joined Anies Coalition and Democrat Party has option to join Prabowo or Ganjar (PDI-P and PPP)

Ganjar popularity is in raising mode

 

[Indos]

Democrat look like will support Ganjar thus PDI-P, Democrat, PPP coalition can come true. It would be my dream if AHY will become Defense Minister under Ganjar-Sandi leadership.

For information, Democrat party under SBY is the one who accept Korean invitation to join KFX/IFX program. Democrat ruling coalition in 2004-2014 is also quite good in defense industry research program.
