Hello there, this is the Indonesian politics thread, from the guy who has been following Indonesian politics for a while, and have seen how the national discourse is being shaped because he lived in the country for the majority of his life.
Anyway, off with the first article. Detailing about Jokowi's vice president for the 2019 elections.

Anyone is welcome to participate in this thread BTW. Just don't post blindingly ignorant posts and you'll be fine.
Anyway, @Salbazier, From TGB and Mahfud MD (I think Hartarto's out just because he's unknown from the general public, heck, my memory's still a bit fuzzy myself on what the guy did). Who do you think would like to be Jokowi's VP? Honestly, for me? I'm pretty split. TGB is good for Islamic credentials, while Mahfud MD is obviously an experienced judge.

Mahfud, Airlangga, TGB on VP candidates list, Jokowi says
President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo revealed on Monday that three notable figures whose names have been circulating as potential vice-presidential candidates are indeed on his list of potential running mates for the 2019 presidential election.
The three figures are former Constitutional Court chief justice Mahfud MD, Golkar chairman Airlangga Hartarto and Muhammad Zainul Majdi, widely known as Tuan Guru Bajang (TGB), a two-time West Nusa Tenggara governor.
In an interview on Monday, journalists asked the President three separate questions, each about whether Mahfud, Airlangga and TGB, respectively, were considered as vice-presidential candidates.
