The 2020 Surabaya mayoral election was held on 9 December 2020, as part of the 2020 simultaneous local elections across Indonesia.
Candidates[edit]
Two candidates ran in the election:[3][4]
- Eri Cahyadi, senior municipal bureaucrat most recently head of the Surabaya's municipal development planning board, endorsed by PDI-P and PSI,
- Machfud Arifin, former chief of East Java's regional police, endorsed by a coalition of eight political parties represented in the city council.
Nominations[edit]
Cahyadi, who had worked under the current incumbent mayor Tri Rismaharini, received endorsements from Rismaharini's previous campaign team, and later on Rismaharini also participated in campaigning for Cahyadi.[5][6] His running mate Armudji was a member of the East Java Regional People's Representative Council, and used to be speaker of the Surabaya city council.[4] Cahyadi was selected over fellow PDI-P member and Risma's deputy Whisnu Sakti Buana.[7]
Arifin's running mate was Mujiaman, formerly president director of the municipal water company.[8]
Campaign[edit]
Two rounds of public debates were held between the candidates on 4 and 18 November 2020.[9][10] In terms of reported campaign donations, the Eri-Armudji ticket received Rp 1.8 billion, while the Machfud-Mujiaman ticket received Rp 7.3 billion.[11] On 1 December 2020, the Surabaya branch of PDI-P filed a report against the Machfud-Mujiaman campaign team for using Rismaharini's imagery in campaigning material while she had declared her support for the Eri-Armudji ticket.[12]
A number of survey organizations conducted opinion polls regarding the mayoral election, with differing results.[13]
