“It makes sense that Pak Jokowi is close and supportive of Prabowo because he is among the strongest presidential hopefuls,” said Qodari.

He said there are at least two things that make Prabowo leading among other candidates. First, in terms of electability, he has been consistently among the top three contenders. Second, Prabowo’s position as chairman of a major party.

“Prabowo meets two important criteria, electability and party machinery. This means that he is on the right track as the most likely presidential candidate to run in 2024,” said Qodari.

In addition, Qodari said Jokowi also has a close relationship with Prabowo. Besides being a minister in his cabinet, the harmonious relationship between the former rivals have also come to symbolize reconciliation and unity. (un)
