Presidential Candidate who Strengthens the People

The presidential candidates who will run in the 2024 election are becoming clearer. Three figures have been nominated by political parties, namely Anies Baswedan, Prabowo Subianto, and Ganjar Pranowo.

There are also several political parties that have asked their party leaders to run for president.

However, some changes are still possible in the next six months. The formal registration of presidential and vice presidential candidates with the General Elections Commission (KPU) will only be open from 19 Oct. to 25 Nov. 2023. Will these political parties or electoral alliances still be registering their three nominated candidates then, or will other names still emerge?
