Incumbent Ganjar Pranowo, who had run with PDI-P in the 2013 elections, once again did so and the party declared him as the candidate on 7 January 2018.[8] His deputy and old running mate Heru Sudjatmoko (id) also expressed an intention to run and the pair collected KPU's registration form together.[9] However, on the candidate declaration Megawati Soekarnoputri declared Taj Yasin Maimoen from PPP, son of senior politician and ulema Maimun Zubair (id).[10] According to 67-year old Heru, he had accepted the party's decision and plans to retire soon.[11] PPP, which had earlier submitted possible running mates for Ganjar, officially backed the pair on 9 January.[12][13] Nasdem and Demokrat submitted their support on the same day, while Golkar did so on 10 January.[14][15][16]

The coalition of Gerindra, PKS and PAN declared Sudirman Said, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources between 2014-2016, as their gubernatorial candidate on 27 December 2017.[17] A non-official faction of PPP, headed by Djan Faridz, also expressed its support for Said.[18] PKB, which initially supported Ganjar, threw its weight behind Said and placed their cadre Ida Fauziyah as his running mate. Ida is a member of the People's Representative Council, where she serves as speaker of her party's faction.[19][20]
