Political observer from the Citra Institute Yusak Farchan considers it natural for PAN and PPP cadres to support Ganjar Pranowo or Anies Baswedan to run in the 2024 presidential election.

According to him, until now there has been no figure who can provide an electoral effect of victory in the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) so that the choice of cadres refers to external figures.

"Since the beginning of its formation, the main problem is that KIB does not have a stock of presidential candidates from internal political parties supporting a coalition with high electability," said Yusak, Tuesday, December 6. "However, the emergence of presidential candidates such as Ganjar and Anies opens up opportunities for KIB to carry foreign presidential candidates," he continued.

Yusak assessed that the emergence of the names of Ganjar and Anies within PAN and PPP would certainly affect the option of Presidential Decree Airlangga Hartarto by KIB. Airlangga is known to continue to strive for the Golkar Party to run as a presidential candidate in 2024.

However, if faced with political calculations, PPP and PAN are fine to make the decision to carry the presidential candidate outside KIB in order to also lift the electability of the party members of KIB in the 2024 election. Psicology is fighting, right, how can you win and the electability of the presidential candidate remains an important variable that cannot be ignored," said Yusak.

Yusak said, if PPP and PAN continue to support presidential candidates from outside KIB, Golkar can still benefit from offering the Airlangga option to become vice presidential candidates I think there is still an option for Pak Airlangga to build bargaining as vice presidential candidate. I think Golkar will prepare various options for various possibilities that occur," he concluded.
