The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) has officially nominated Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Mahfud MD as Ganjar Pranowo's running mate for the 2024 General Election.

"Today, Wednesday, October 18, 2023, with firm conviction, I make this decision, dedicating it wholeheartedly to the interests of the people, nation, and state. With the utterance of *bismillahirrahmanirrahim*, the vice-presidential candidate chosen by the PDIP to accompany Ganjar Pranowo is Prof. Dr. Mahfud MD," said PDIP Chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri, as reported by Antara, Wednesday (18/10/2023).

The Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD pairing is supported by four political parties: PDIP, the United Development Party (PPP), the Heart of the People's Conscience Party (Hanura), and the Indonesian Unity Party (Perindo).

According to Indostrategic Executive Director Ahmad Khoirul Umam, Mahfud MD can provide additional strength to his political partners.

"The determination of Mahfud MD as Ganjar Pranowo's running mate will strengthen the PDIP's political machinery and presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo," said Ahmad, as reported by Antara, Wednesday (18/10/2023).

"The figure of Mahfud MD represents the political strength of Nahdliyyin," he added.

Ahmad also assessed that Mahfud MD has experience in carrying out state duties in all branches of power, both in the executive branch as a minister, the legislative branch as a member of the DPR (House of Representatives), and the judiciary as the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK).

"This wealth of experience can strengthen the narrative, arguments, and policy choices in the debate on the vision, mission, and platform of future governance, where swing voters from the educated middle class are quite influenced by the quality of arguments from the contestants," said Ahmad.

However, judging from the report of the Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI), Mahfud MD's electability seems quite low compared to other national figures.

From August 3-9, 2023, LSI conducted a survey on the figure considered most suitable to be Ganjar Pranowo's running mate.

The survey involved 1,220 respondents spread nationally, using a multistage random sampling method and face-to-face interviews.

The results showed that the majority, or 17%, of respondents considered Erick Thohir to be the most suitable running mate for Ganjar Pranowo.

Meanwhile, Mahfud MD's name was far below Erick Thohir, ranking fifth with 6.7% of respondent votes.

"Erick Thohir, Sandiaga Uno, and Ridwan Kamil are the candidates most often considered the most suitable vice-presidential candidates for Ganjar Pranowo," said the LSI team in the August 2023 edition of the *National Survey Release* report.

This LSI survey has a margin of error of 2.9% with a 95% confidence level.
