JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is allegedly giving support to Ganjar Pranowo regarding the 2024 Presidential Election. This support is reflected in President Jokowi's speech at the V Projo National Working Meeting.

According to Chartapolitika's analysis, the speech led to support for Ganjar Pranowo to run as a presidential candidate in the upcoming election. This was stated by the Executive Director of Charta Politica Indonesia, Yunarto Wijaya.

"I see this as the beginning of a strong symbolic language, let's say this is the direction of support for Pak Ganjar," he said in a written statement, as reported by Antara, Sunday, May 22.

According to him, Jokowi's speech about "maybe those we support are here" pointed to the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo. Because, only Ganjar who was included in the radar of the top survey of presidential candidates (Capres) 2024 who attended the National Working Meeting.

"I don't know if the choice of Magelang is a symbol, I still can't explain," said Yunarto Wijaya.

He explained that Ganjar had the highest popularity and electability rating among the figures named in the credible survey institutions. Ganjar is also often referred to as Jokowi's successor as President for the 2024-2029 period.

"Ganjar has the highest rating and when asked about Ganjar's brand association, he is indeed considered the strongest to be Jokowi's successor compared to other names," he said.

According to him, a figure supported by Jokowi will have an advantage in terms of voters and party power. Moreover, if until the end of the term of office the former Solo Mayor has a good report in the eyes of the public.

On the one hand, according to him, Jokowi must be precise and quick in announcing the figures he supports. Jokowi must also attract the support of his coalition party so that the candidate he carries gets support.

"It's very likely that if that's the case, whoever Jokowi supports has a high chance of winning," he said.

In addition, he also analyzed the contents of Jokowi's speech which told volunteers not to rush in making choices. This could mean that Jokowi wants his political stability not to be disturbed.

"It means two things, the President doesn't want his political stability to be disturbed and secondly, if our hero (Projo) will come forward, follow my way and don't be in a hurry," he explained.

Previously, Indonesian President Joko Widodo advised Pro Jokowi (Projo) volunteers not to be in a hurry to talk politics about presidential candidates in the 2024 election.

"Focus on solving existing problems first, if you drink milk, don't be in a hurry, even though the supporters may be here," said the President.
