Ganjar Pranowo was elected the governor of Central Java, one of Indonesia's most populous provinces, in 2013. After being elected for two terms as governor, Ganjar's potential candidacy as President of Indonesia was floated with incumbent Joko Widodo ("Jokowi") reaching his second term. While several government officials proposed an extension to the term limit, the issue was shelved.[2] In the immediate aftermath of the 2019 Indonesian presidential election, a number of pollsters began to consider Ganjar as a likely candidate in 2024,[3] and by 2020 he was already one of the highest-polling prospective candidates.[4] By mid-2022, Indonesian media began interpreting Jokowi's actions as showing support for Ganjar.[5]
Ganjar was officially declared as PDI-P's candidate on 21 April 2023 during a party event attended by Jokowi, Megawati, and other party elites.[9] Several days later, the United Development Party followed suit.[10] Two non-parliamentary parties, the Perindo Party and the People's Conscience Party (Hanura), declared their support for Ganjar's candidacy in June and August 2023, respectively.[11][12] PSI retracted its support for Ganjar in August 2023.[13]
In preparation for the 2024 Indonesian presidential election, PDI-P supported presidential candidate, Ganjar Pranowo, adopted the all black attire and three-finger salute as his campaign motif and hand gesture,[17] replacing the rock n' roll hand symbol signed by Ganjar during the candidate number reveal.[18] On 20 November 2023, a video widely shared on his Twitter account, Ganjar was seen raising his hands in the three-finger salute amidst a crowd of supporters, dressed in all black.[17][19] the salute signify "Three fingers three promises: Obey God, obey the law, and be loyal to the people."[20]
