), quashing hopes for a quick election with the establishment of a “grand coalition” of pro-government parties.
The prospect for the establishment of a grand alliance has grown dim, now that pro-government parties must choose between two strong candidates: Ganjar and Prabowo.Ganjar’s nomination is expected to put other parties in the ruling government coalition in a quandary over which candidate to support. The PDI-P, the largest pro-government party, is now seeking electoral allies to support Ganjar.
The PPP was set to nominate its presidential candidate at its national work meeting sometime soon, party politician Achmad Baidowi said. He added, “the party’s regional branches have mentioned Ganjar as a potential presidential candidate”. Gerindra has already forged an electoral alliance with the National Awakening Party and thus has enough legislative seats together to nominate Prabowo, with or without the support of the PDI-P or parties in the KIB. While Gerindra welcomes the idea of joining forces with the PDI-P, it has zero interest in the vice presidential slot.
Prabowo, who lost twice successively to Jokowi in 2014 and 2019, now outpaces Ganjar in the latest surveys.Whether or not a Ganjar-Prabowo or Prabowo-Ganjar pairing might materialize now hinged on the President’s astuteness in brokering the potential alliance, said Agung Baskoro, a political analyst at Trias Strategis Politika.
“Finding common ground between the interests of various parties is not an easy job, considering that [some] party leaders are vying for the presidential slot in the hope that their candidacy will have [a coattail] effect on their parties,” he said.
