A

political survey has suggested that Gerindra Party leader Prabowo Subianto would square off against Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan in 2024, with the former allies likely representing two competing political alliances, one led by the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) and the other by the NasDem Party.

The survey, conducted by pollster Indo Barometer, shows that voters still expect the former general to run in the 2024 presidential election, even though he has lost every single presidential election since 2009.

With President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo out of the equation after completing his second term, Prabowo now comes on top in the polls, with Anies, his former ally, being his strongest competitor.

Prabowo, now the defense minister in Jokowi's Cabinet, gained 22.5 percent of the vote from 1,200 respondents, while Anies secured 14.3 percent, according to the survey released on Sunday.

The pollster said the results indicated that Prabowo could be competing against yet another Jakarta governor that he had once endorsed.

Prabowo was one of the political figures who backed Jokowi's gubernatorial bid in Jakarta a few years before the latter decided to take on his former patron in the 2014 presidential election.
