The 2024 South Sumatra gubernatorial election will be held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the governor of South Sumatra for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2018.
Candidates[edit]
According to electoral regulations, in order to qualify for the election, candidates are required to secure support from a political party or a coalition of parties controlling 15 seats in the South Sumatra Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). As no parties won 15 or more seats, parties will be required to form coalitions to nominate a candidate.[1][2] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in South Sumatra's case corresponds to 474,477 copies. No candidates registered in this method within the deadline given by the General Elections Commission.[3]

The following are individuals who have either been publicly mentioned as a potential candidate by a political party in the DPRD, publicly declared their candidacy with press coverage, or considered as a potential candidate by media outlets:
