Grandpere’s love builds a Viking ship in West Pubnico | SaltWireJAKARTA - The presidential candidate of Indonesia's ruling party will announce his choice of running mate on Wednesday, amid last-minute manoeuvring by the country's political heavyweights to shore up alliances ahead of the 2024 election.

Ganjar Pranowo, 54, of the Indonesian Democratic Party-Struggle will"most likely" pick senior cabinet minister Mahfud MD, according to Osman Sapta Odang, head of one of four parties backing the ticket. Prabowo has yet to announce a running mate, but speculation is rife that he will pair up with Jokowi's son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, especially after a top court issued a controversial ruling on eligibility criteria earlier this week that allows the 36-year-old to run in 2024.
