JAKARTA - Some quarters within the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) have proposed that the ruling party field chairman Megawati Soekarnoputri in the presidential election in 2024.
This idea has emerged unexpectedly, as the 75-year-old, who was president from 2001 to 2004, had said she wanted to see young faces competing in the next presidential election.
