The nomination of the presidential and vice presidential candidates is growing nearer. Approaching the deadline on Aug. 10, there has not yet been any certain pair of presidential and vice president candidates. Lobbying, maneuvering and struggling among parties and those aspiring to be in office, especially for vice president, has continued without giving any assurance to the public.

President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, who can certainly come back as the presidential candidate for his second term on July 23, held a meeting with six chairpersons of his coalition\'s supporting parties. The six parties are the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), Golkar, the National Awakening Party (PKB), Nasdem, the United Development Party (PPP) and Hanura.
