PDIP Presidential Candidate Ganjar Pranowo (ANTARA)

Presidential candidate number 3 Ganjar Pranowo admitted that he was not worried that the support of the Governor of East Java Khofifah Indar Parawansa to presidential candidate number 2 Prabowo Subianto would erode voters in East Java for the Ganjar-Mahfud pair. "We (Ganjar-Mahfud) are not easy-to-be worried presidential and vice presidential candidates," said Ganjar after greeting the people in Tegal, Central Java, quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, January 11. Ganjar said that he and Mahfud MD are confident that they can win in East Java. In addition, his party also carried out an introspection to win the 2024 presidential election. "Building strength, meeting with the people. So, not worried," he said. Previously, last Wednesday, Khofifah Indar Parawansa announced his support for candidate pair Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka in Surabaya, East Java. The general chairman of Fatayat Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) also expressed his willingness to join the National Campaign Team (TKN) Prabowo-Gibran. "I am ready to be a jurkamnas (national campaign leader) and ready to enter the TKN," said Khofifah.

The General Election Commission (KPU) of the Republic of Indonesia has determined three pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates, namely Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka, and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD, as participants in the 2024 presidential election. The election campaign period is set from November 28, 2023 to February 10, 2024, while the voting is scheduled for February 14, 2024.
