Will the oligarchic power be able to win back the 2024 presidential election like the previous presidential election? Or indeed there will be a true democratic process that will result leaders who will be borne from the people’s womb.
Will the oligarchic power be able to win back the 2024 presidential election like the previous presidential election? Or indeed there will be a true democratic process that will result leaders who will be borne from the people’s womb. Will it be also not impossible to create a “win-win solution”, from friction and fragmentation in the 2024 presidential election?
HOW is Jokowi’s post-presidential state which is expected to be terminated in 2024? Only God knows and as best he can wait for the people’s reaction. Jokowi needs to think about how he can make a soft landing after he is no longer at the Palace.
In contrast to Jokowi, now Anies is increasing being lauded by the people to become the next president.
It seems that Jokowi and his family and their circle of power need Anies for political safety and security during the transition of power.
The practices of corruption, collusion and nepotism or KKN and various crimes against humanity that surround the government’s journey, over time tend to become “public enemies.”
Technical and strategic failures emerge in every policy and implementation of national development. Immeasurable infrastructure, the drained state money is not for the welfare of the people and the apparatus is greedy and brutal in running the wheels of government have become a bad legacy of the government regime.
Subjectively and tendentiously, the incumbents are also active in reducing Anies’ figure as a potential future leader. Most of the politicians and the bureaucracy very clearly hate and hostile to Anies. The partisan attitude of the government and law enforcement is now clearly shown to have hurt people’s hearts.
Starting from survey agencies, buzzers and even mainstream media are now intensively publishing misleading opinions and framing evil, if necessary “killing” Anies’ political career.
There will be a passage of time, just like human life is like a wheel that keeps turning, sometimes at the bottom, sometimes at the top. Likewise the political positioning of Jokowi and Anies, the two polar opposite leaders who are the most influential in the contemporary national political constellation.
It is not impossible to be dynamic, facing each other or it can also open a space for synergy and elaboration, encouraging mutual symbiosis and oriented to the interests of the people, state and nation.
With characteristics that are actually significantly different, the political relations between Jokowi and Anies are very interesting and eagerly awaited by the public.
Jokowi as a president who is fully supported by oligarchic powers, the moment before the 2024 presidential election allows him to meet Anies as a phenomenal presidential candidate based on popular support.
Will the two of them clash and take a diametrical step? Or will they be able to find a compromise point through the transition of power of the national leadership which will take place soon?
Oligarchy is a determining factor in the polarization of Jokowi and Anies figures regarding the support of political parties and their mass support bases, in the face of elections and presidential elections that are thick with large and transactional capital disbursements.
The inevitability of capitalism and its influence which now leads to the power of the oligarchs, has ultimately become the main and most decisive player in the presidential succession process.
How the high-cost economic, social and political costs of a democratic party can produce puppet leaders or real ones carrying the people’s mandate. It is crucial and interesting to follow its development by both the people and the political elite.
Will the oligarchic power be able to win back the 2024 presidential election like the previous presidential election. Or indeed there will be a true democratic process that presents leaders who come from the womb of the people. It is also not impossible to create a “win-win solution”, from friction and fragmentation in the 2024 presidential election.
Jokowi as president with various labels attached to him, of course makes the 2024 presidential election battle something “to be or not to be”.
With high confidence and the support of the oligarchs behind him, Jokowi has only two choices: winning the three-term presidential term — in whatever format—or setting up a lifeboat with whoever will be elected in the 2024 presidential election.
Although dominantly pragmatic, oligarchy also does not suddenly control leaders with low electability and electability, regardless of social engineering or naturally born from popular support.
As an economic entity that has a strong correlation with the political world, oligarchs also have political calculations and rationalizations apart from not abandoning the “safety player” character that has so far been successfully played by large-scale entrepreneurs.
This includes leading political parties and other government institutional instruments such as KPU, TNI, and Polri.
The presence of Anies in the frenetic stage of the 2024 presidential election which was so intense must be admitted that it has begun to steal the attention of directors, actors, and political participants throughout
Indonesia and has caught the attention of the international community.
Various appreciations and reactions emerged, starting from the emergence of a “supporting system” to making it a threat, or the phenomena suggesting that Anies is involved.
So, what about Jokowi? Take a firm line with rivalry against Anies, or build a political consensus that could become a consensus on the transition of national leadership, which will save the republic, especially in the midst of a fragile and vulnerable national situation and condition that is dangerous for Indonesia’s future.
It is undeniable, with the performance of the current government regime that is getting worse, it is better if Jokowi can think about it before going too far and going the wrong way in maneuvering the 2024 presidential election. He must be able to build a harmonious and harmonious relationship between the oligarchic forces with the locomotive and the people’s political vehicle.
Especially now Anies who has now come to the fore and can’t avoid it if he is considered to be the biggest obstacle to the domain of political and economic players
Because after all, Anies is getting stronger to be part of the dynamics and representation of the substance of contemporary democracy.
Apart from the dualism of democracy that has emerged between the politics of reality and the politics of ideals, Jokowi makes it possible to become a nationalist and patriotic leader, listening to the voices of the people and as much as possible to adhere to Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, and the Unitary Republic of Indonesia.
Nothing is impossible in politics, marriage of interests is not unlawful as long as it is for the good of the people, country and nation. In order to restore the real Indonesia, including do not hesitate if in fact Jokowi needs Anies’ existence. The need for a national leadership relay that is conducive and secure, including socio-political, socio-economic and legal social.
Still in doubt if Jokowi needs Anies? Just wait what people will do and history will answer.
