The two pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates for the 2019 general election, Joko Widodo-Ma\'ruf Amin and Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, share a light moment after the drawing of the election ballot numbers at the General Elections Commission (KPU) office on Jl. Imam Bonjol in Central Jakarta on Friday (21/09/2018) evening. At the public event, the duo of Joko Widodo and Ma’ruf got number 01 and Prabowo-Sandiaga got number 02.
JAKARTA, KOMPAS – The electability of either candidate pair in the 2019 presidential election may significantly change due to overwhelming external pressures or fatal blunders exploited by opponents.
Six months before the 2019 presidential election, the mapping of support for candidate pairs incumbent President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo and Ma’ruf Amin and Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno is becoming clearer. Nevertheless, there are still wide possibilities of changes happening during the campaign period up to April 13, 2019.
