The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) said President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo had handpicked members of a campaign team for Ganjar Pranowo, reiterating its claim that the President was fully behind its presidential candidate.

Ahead of the presidential election in February next year, speculations have been rife that Jokowi has not been willing to commit solely to Ganjar, with some political analysts believing the President might prefer his long-time rival-turned-ally, Gerindra Party chairman and its presumptive presidential nominee Prabowo Subianto, to be his successor instead.
