Spats between the ruling Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) and several groups of President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo's grassroots supporters might put Ganjar Pranowo in a tight spot, especially at a time when the Central Java governor needs all the help he can get to reclaim his lead in electability surveys.
As the President is set to enter the final year of his second term, gibing has intensified between the ruling party and some Jokowi supporter groups that have backed him since his 2014 bid.
A meeting last week between supporters of Gerindra Party chairman Prabowo Subianto and two prominent pro-Jokowi groups, ProJo and Bara JP, has fueled speculation that the President is leaning toward backing his former election rival instead of PDI-P presidential candidate Ganjar.
