The 2020 Surabaya mayoral election was held on 9 December 2020, as part of the 2020 simultaneous local elections across Indonesia.

Candidates[]

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[]

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]

Arifin's running mate was Mujiaman, formerly president director of the municipal water company.[7]

Campaign[]

Two rounds of public debates were held between the candidates on 4 and 18 November 2020.[8][9] 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.[10] 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.[11]

A number of survey organizations conducted opinion polls regarding the mayoral election, with differing results.[12]
