The 2024 Central Java gubernatorial election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the Governor of Central Java for a five-year term.
Candidates[edit]
According to electoral regulations, in order to qualify for the election, candidates are required to secure support from 24 seats in the Central Java Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, with 33 seats, is the only political party eligible to nominate a candidate without forming a coalition.[1] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Central Java's case corresponds to 1.84 million copies. No independent candidates registered with the General Elections Commission for the gubernatorial election.[2]
The previous governor, Ganjar Pranowo, had served for two full terms and is therefore ineligible to run in the election.[3][4]
Potential[edit]
The following are individuals who have either been publicly mentioned as a potential candidate, or considered as such by press:
- Bambang Wuryanto (PDI-P), member of the House of Representatives from Central Java IV district (Karanganyar, Wonogiri, and Sragen).[5]
- Taj Yasin Maimoen (PPP), former vice governor (2018–2023).[6]
- Yusuf Chudlori (PKB), chairman of PKB's Central Java branch.[7]
- Dico Ganinduto (Golkar), regent of Kendal.[8]
- Sudaryono (Gerindra), chairman of Gerindra's Central Java branch.[9]
