JAKARTA: A public opinion poll for the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial race has found that two of the city’s former governors, Anies Baswedan and Basuki 'Ahok' Tjahaja Purnama, are the most popular of a set of potential candidates for the position, suggesting that the two politicians, who competed for the job in 2017, could face each other once more in November.
Indonesia will hold its first simultaneous regional elections on Nov 27, with the governorship of Jakarta, widely seen as a springboard to the presidency, being one of the most sought-after positions.
