JAKARTA - The Governor of Central Java who is also a cadre of PDIP Perjuangan Ganjar Pranowo uploaded a photo of Megawati Soekarnoputri's painting. Ganjar asserted himself to learn a lot from Megawati, ketum PDIP. Is this the political signal of the 2024 presidential election?

Political observer of Al Azhar University Indonesia Andriadi Achmad assessed, actually it is too early to talk about the 2024 presidential election because there is still 3 years left. However, it is undeniable that the smell of the five-yearly democratic party has been smelled.

"So the smell of this election is interesting, and kind of not exhausted to talk about the presidential election. Moreover, in the 2024 presidential election there is no incumbent, meaning the opportunity for other figures who want to run as presidential elections is different when there is an incumbent," said Andriadi contacted VOI, Tuesday, May 11.

Contesting the 2024 presidential election, according to him, is more interesting because Jokowi can not run again as incumbent. That is, the competition of old and new figures will be fiercer.

"The incumbent is a tough opponent for the upcoming candidates. Indeed since the 2019 presidential election until now the name of the character has come to the surface, and it is not a new but old figure who today holds the position in another important position," he explained.

One of them is Ganjar Pranowo. Ganjar himself is an old politician who has several periods occupied a seat in the House of Representatives from central Java dapil. Then in 2013, he became a two-term governor.

"Central Java is about 30 million (population, red) means yes quite large Central Java, and PDIP election winners. That's the main base of Central Java, so exciting, the term is so interesting," said Andriadi.

However, the executive director of PolCom SRC assessed, the progress of Ganjar in the 2024 presidential election depends on megawati PDIP ketum. Moreover, the bull party does not need to coalition with other parties to be able to run for president.

"Because Ms. Mega is the main restu holder of PDIP. Only problem there is a golden child, the crown princess, Puan Maharani it can not be underestimated. Because for Megawati also when else to push her ananda forward as 01 or 02. So Ganjar Pranowo of course who was aware too," jelas Andriadi.

"So it depends on the hot ball bu Megawati. If Ms. Mega decides Puan Maharani for 01 or 02, yes wassalam it's Ganjar Pranowo," he continued.

Nevertheless, Ganjar still has a chance if Megawati does not give her blessing to run for the 2024 presidential election. One of them, moving political parties.

"His name is a politician today even though he (Ganjar, red) PDIP, could aja tomorrow others as long as the electability is high, continues to skyrocket, high popularity it can be the way of other parties. It does not close the possibility that Ganjar is not approved by Megawati, that is, not supported pdip of course could be other parties support him 01 or 02. So it's open," explained Andriadi.

"Even sooner if PDIP or Megawati support then ganjar chances rise very large," he pointed out.
