Rather than supporting Ganjar Pranowo’s presidential nomination, Jokowi is increasingly leaning towards Prabowo Subianto. The agreement in Batutulis sets him off.

Parties supporting Ganjar Pranowo are not aggressively campaigning on his behalf. Not all PDI-P officials are taking part in his presidential campaign.

The PDI-P is looking for a vice-presidential candidate for Ganjar Pranowo from the Nahdlatul Ulama circle. Two candidates put forward by Jokowi are rejected.

PDI-P’s announcement declaring Ganjar Pranowo to be their presidential candidate changes the makeup of the party’s coalition. A grand coalition is back on the table.

Prabowo Subianto wants to run for president again. The option of becoming Ganjar Pranowo’s running mate is still being considered.

Megawati Sukarnoputri chose Ganjar Pranowo as her party’s presidential candidate early this year. The public perception of female leaders was factored into her decision.

The government drew up a plan so that the U-20 World Cup would still be held in Indonesia. Is it true that Indonesia will change places with Peru?

In the hands of politicians drunk on electoral politics, it is difficult for Indonesian soccer to develop. The cancellation of the U-20 World Cup is just collateral damage.

Political Parties are rejecting the Central Jakarta District Court verdict to postpone the 2024 General Elections. Having the elections on schedule is considered as more advantageous.

DPR Speaker Puan Maharani and the PDI-P are holding up the Domestic Workers Protection Bill.

The Protection of Domestic Workers Bill has been sitting in the House for almost 19 years. There are lobbies to block it.

Anies Baswedan is courted by party cadres and officials joined under the United Indonesia Coalition. Ganjar Pranowo is also being considered.

By putting forward Puan Maharani for the presidency, the PDI-P wants to realize its plan for the 2024 elections to be contested by only two candidate pairs. This has the potential to sharpen polarization.

Several PDIP politicians in parliament are intensely campaigning for Puan Maharani, while at the same time sneering at Ganjar Pranowo. Serious campaigning is starting on social media.

Ganjar Pranowo’s chances of being chosen as PDIP’s presidential candidate are said to be dwindling. Megawati Sukarnoputri has told Puan Maharani, her daughter, to explore the possibility of a coalition with other parties. Puan then went on a political tour, traveling the provinces to raise her low electability rating.

The relationship between Joko Widodo and the PDI-P is strained due to signals of support for Ganjar Pranowo. The party is looking at potential presidential candidates besides Puan Maharani.

The movement against postponing the elections and extending the president’s term of office is growing. Megawati openly opposes the idea.

The merger of government research agencies into the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) is causing tension between scientists. BRIN is believed to have veered off its path. The Palace and Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle General Chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri are reportedly supporting the move by BRIN chairman.
