Ganjar

At 71 years old, Ganjar’s most significant opponent, Indonesian Minister of Defense Prabowo Subianto, epitomizes Indonesia’s older political generation.

A boy walks past posters bearing the images of Indonesia's presidential candidates Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo at a residential area in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Monday.

A similar theme dominated the rallies held by Ganjar and his running-mate Mahfud MD held in Surakarta and Semarang in Central Java.

Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto is running against former Jakarta governor Anies Baswedan and former Central Java governor Ganjar Pranowo for the top office.

Dian, also 30, added that he liked Slank because they “sing from the heart” and that he would vote for Ganjar and his party, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), because Slank supported them.

In a way, both Prabowo and Ganjar are promising continuity with the current administration.

In Solo, the biggest party's Ganjar rode a cart filled with produce pulled by oxen - underscoring his man-of-the-people style - and greeted thousands of supporters braving the rain.

Johnny and Dian, both construction workers, told Al Jazeera that they were lifelong Slankers and fervent supporters of Ganjar.
