rabowo Subianto officially confirmed his bid to run for president in 2024 at the Gerindra Party’s national leadership meeting (Rapimnas) last weekend. This will be Prabowo’s third attempt to become the leader of the world’s third-largest democracy. Although his chances of winning look promising based on opinion polls, he still needs to pick the right running mate to strategically boost his standing. 

In a recent survey by Indonesia Polling Stations (IPS) conducted in the first week of August, Prabowo saw a relatively steep increase in his rating. IPS polled some 1,200 respondents and found that 30.2 percent of the respondents would vote for Prabowo, followed by Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo and Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan. It is important to note that all three presidential hopefuls have consistently topped various polls in the last few months.
