She said the Democratic Party and the Golkar Party have officially endorsed her bid while the Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra) and the National Mandate Party (PAN) will formally announce their support at a later date.
The former social affairs minister will contest with Emil Dardak as her running mate.
"The Democratic Party has agreed on the pairing of Khofifah and Emil, and now we receive additional support from the Golkar Party,” Khofifah told reporters during her visit to the official residence of Golkar Chairman Airlangga Hartarto in South Jakarta.
