Analysis: Ganjar Pranowo ends governor stint with praise for leadership style, but is it enough to be Indonesian president?

Mas’udi, who is the dean of the University of Gadjah Mada’s social and politics faculty.“He also tries to open communication between the regents and mayors. There were barely any conflicts between the governor, regents and mayors during his tenure compared with his predecessor Bibit Waluyo,” he said.

“Previously, there were many tensions between the provincial leader, the regents and mayors,” Mr Mas’udi recalled.“Mr Pranowo is able to communicate productively so that many national programmes were implemented successfully in Central Java.”Maftuchan, executive director of public policy thinktank Prakarsa, noted the same things.“Mr Pranowo sets the standard of how the government should communicate with the public,” he said.

The northern part of Central Java, which suffers from land subsidence and experiences regular floods, also remains frequently inundated. “There are many industries which have led to the land subsidence, and climate change also plays a part, but people should be able to lessen the impact.” Those who reject it are mostly farmers who have even launched protests in front of the presidential palace in Jakarta.

“Can this be regarded as an achievement, considering this was done in 10 years? I would say so-so because eradicating extreme poverty is not easy and needs a specific strategy,” said Mr Maftuchan.
