Only days before polling, support continues to rush in to the campaign of Adang Daradjatun and Dani Anwar.
The latest came on Saturday, with the Central Jakarta chapter of Pemuda Muhammadiyah, the youth wing of one of the country's largest Islamic organizations, throwing its support behind Adang.
An alliance of the youth wings of seven political parties previously backing Fauzi Bowo had shifted their support to Adang, as had the Alliance of Nahdlatul Ulama Communities (Awanu).
The head of the Central Jakarta chapter of Pemuda Muhammadiyah, Diflaizal Zen Koto, told a press conference Saturday the switch in support was based on a decision by the organization's July regional conference.
The conference decided to give full support to Dani, a Muhammadiyah cadre. "Bang Dani was once the head of Muhammadiyah in Tanah Abang (a district in Central Jakarta)," he said.
Dani is currently a City Councilor from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), the only major party backing Adang.
