JAKARTA - Ganjar Pranowo will be the presidential candidate (candidate) to speak about the opportunity for Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD to become his vice presidential candidate to accompany him in the 2024 presidential election. According to Ganjar, Mahfud MD and the name of the vice presidential candidate that has been circulating so far, both have a chance to become the vice presidential candidate for his companion. "Everyone has the same chance, whoever the candidate is yes. That politics, before the line is curved, something will still happen, it is possible," said Ganjar at the Kompas Tower, Jakarta, Tuesday, October 17. Ganjar admitted that he has a good relationship with Mahfud MD and all the names that are predicted to be his vice presidential candidates so far. "My relationship with all the people who are often written friends, is all good. All of them," said Ganjar. Ganjar is reluctant to mention the initials of the name of the candidate to be announced by PDIP chairman Megawati Soekarnoputri and the general chairmen of his supporting political parties on Wednesday 18 October. He asked the media crew to be patient until the announcement of the name of the future vice presidential candidate. "The initials tomorrow, yes. Tomorrow the initials are yes," said Ganjar. The PDIP Secretary General, Hasto Kristiyanto had previously said that Ganjar's vice presidential candidate would be announced on Wednesday 18 October at the PDIP DPP office on Jalan Diponegoro, Menteng, Central Jakarta. Hasto did not explain further whether Ganjar Pranowo's vice presidential candidate would be announced. He also did not answer when asked if the figure was Mahfud MD.

"The initials are Indonesia Raya for Indonesia Raya, for the people of Indonesia, for mutual progress," said Hasto. Ahead of the announcement of the name of the vice president Ganjar, Mahfud MD has also docked at Megawati Soekarnoputri's house in Teuku Umar, Central Jakarta on Tuesday afternoon.
