You can travel anywhere throughout Indonesia to see the pulse of support for candidate pair 03 from democratic struggle party (pdip), Ganjar Mahfud. I hope that democracy in our country will become better, truly and more honest. not an engineered democracy, because we avoid survey figures that do not match the reality on the ground. this my support symbol : 🤟🤟🤟 In disability language it is interpreted as "i love you".

Initially, Widodo wants Ganjar to become Prabowo's vice president. So that Jokowi voters don't need to be divided and can defeat Anies easily. However, Megawati could not accept PDIP as a junior coalition

Ganjar was initially endorsed by Jokowi but turned out he is just a puppet of Megawati.
