The surge in Prabowo Subianto's electability is attributed to the accumulation of numerous strategies. Ganjar Pranowo and Anies Baswedan are both optimistic about reversing the situation.

The founder and Executive Director of Poltracking Indonesia, Hanta Yuda, said in Jakarta on Wednesday (26/10/2022) that the current political map was still very dynamic.

The latest survey conducted by Kompas Research and Development indicated a decline in the level of satisfaction and trust of the public in the administration of President Joko Widodo and Vice President Ma'ruf Amin.

Their friendship continues to this day and it is possible that their closeness will lead the PDI-P and PKB to forming an alliance in the 2024 presidential election.

Indeed, identity is a reality, but implementing identity politics in order to simply be in power in this 77-year-old republic is a sign of short-sightedness and evil.

The key variables in 2009, 2014 and 2019 were the high electability of prospective presidential nominees and the existence of popular incumbents, so the map of potential alliances was predictable.

The recent affinity shown between PDI-P and Gerindra Party has opened a chance for an electoral alliance to offer an option to form a presidential pair, especially if the prospective candidates have high electability.

Gerindra’s votes skyrocketed in 2014 and 2019 because of Prabowo, with the party emerging in the top three parties in both elections.
