This time it's the TikTok election," says Aryo Seno Bagaskoro, a young spokesperson for the presidential campaign of Ganjar Pranowo, the former governor of Central Java.
One of his supporters is a 22-year-old female student who posts on social media platform X about Anies and his campaign using Korean hangul captions.
The Ganjar campaign has gimmicks of its own too, such as "Top Gun"-style jackets and penguin symbols.
