"The likelihood of the nomination will largely depend on Megawati Soekarnoputri, the general chairman of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP)," Darmawan Sinayangsah, the Freedom Foundation director, told a discussion here on Sunday.
According to Darmawan, the results of a survey conducted by the Freedom Foundation across the country indicated that 40.6 percent of 1,090 respondents favored the Jokowi-Jusuf Kalla pair-up while 34.1 percent opted to the Jokowi-Akbar Tanjung pair.
The survey was conducted from March 31 to April 7, 2014 with an accuracy level of about 95 percent.
About 24.0 percent respondents chose the pair if Jokowi ran together with General Chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN) Hatta Rajasa as compared to 11.5 percent who voted for the Jokowi- Pramono Edhie pair.
Pramono Edhie is a former chief of staff of the Indonesian Army.
