Near the end of his second term, however, Jokowi's relationship with PDI-P deteriorated because he backed Prabowo in the 2024 presidential campaign rather than his own party's candidate, Ganjar Pranowo; Jokowi's eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, also ran as Prabowo's vice-presidential candidate.

Jokowi was later also accused of interfering in the 2024 Indonesian local elections because of controversies over candidate-age requirements, notably affecting his son Kaesang Pangarep, and over political support, notably affecting Anies Baswedan, a prominent critic of his administration.
