2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election

edit
 
Pramono Anung as candidate of Governor of Jakarta (2024)

On 28 August, Pramono Anung and Rano Karno officially registered to run for governor and vice governor. Before PDI-P announced them as running governor and vice governor, they had several candidates to smoothly run against Kotak Kosong or empty ballot, such like Anies Baswedan and Basuki Tjahaja Purnama.[17]

Initially, Anies Baswedan became PDI-P's presumptive nominee as both Anies and PDI-P traded praises and interests.[18] His candidacy was further strengthened after the Constitutional Court's ruling nullifies the need of a 20% parliament threshold.[19] Rumours of his nomination became stronger as Anies visited the party headquarters and met Rano Karno on August 26, 2024.[20] The meeting then sparked a rumor that both Anies-Rano will be nominated as PDI-P's candidate.[21] Responding to such rumours, 2024 presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo states that the party is still weighing their options but states his preference in favor of their own party cadres instead while Djarot Saiful Hidayat said that Anies was one of the considered candidates that includes Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, Pramono and Rano Karno.[22]

However, PDI-P eventually did not nominate Anies as their candidate as PDI-P nominated Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung with Rano Karno acted as vice governor candidate.[23] This decision was officially announced by party treasurer and former Governor of North Sulawesi Olly Dondokambey, states that Pramono-Rano will be nominated as PDI-P's candidate.[24] Despite wearing red clothes that associated with the party and went to visit the party headquarters, Anies Baswedan was not present during the announcement, sparking speculations that PDI-P and Anies had parted ways.[25] Pramono-Rano then registered themselves as candidates for the election on August 28, 2024.[26]

On November 21, 2024, former governor Anies Baswedan officially endorsed Pramono-Rano's candidacy at an event in Blok S Field, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta. This endorsement came after earlier speculation about Anies's own potential candidacy with PDI-P's support had not materialized.[27]
