JAKARTA - Realized or not by politicians and top political parties in this country, they have a very high dependence on President Jokowi.

Recently, Gerindra Party officials had to consult Jokowi about who the vice presidential candidate was who was right to accompany Prabowo. Political observer Rocky Gerung is concerned about witnessing a reality like this, political parties are very dependent like this.

Not only Prabowo and the Geridra Party, which are very dependent on Jokowi. The Golkar Party, PPP, PAN, PBB, Perindo, PSI and others also depend on Jokowi in different doses and sizes.

Just look at the event or momentum of the party commemorating its anniversary, they always invite Jokowi to give remarks and directions. Even in other important matters such as determining the presidential and vice presidential candidates they also involve or wait for Jokowi's direction. "Why consult Jokowi," he told VOI.

If this is the case, Rocky Gerung will continue to do what he has a political party for. "Then just join in, you become a political party under Jokowi's control. Why have your own political parties," he continued.

There is a congress or congress that should be the highest reference in decision making. "In my opinion, this endangers democracy, which has been built with difficulty so far.

All parties have the highest institutions whose names can be nationalized or congress. In the forum, it has been decided who is the presidential candidate from the party, if it has been decided why should you ask the President," he said retorically.

"If the president says it's not the A presidential candidate or vice presidential candidate, will it change what has been decided at the National Conference? Even though the results of the congress or congress should be the highest sovereignty in a party," he said.

Is it because the party is not confident that it has to come and consult Jokowi? Because according to Rocky, many party officials have "hostile". Their card is already held by Jokowi.

In the Rocky term, everything already has a "comorbit". That's why they are very dependent on Jokowi. "Yes, they are not confident, all political parties have comorbits," he said.

"The problem is that at any time they can be investigated by the KPK and party jackets can be replaced with orange jackets from the KPK, that's what the KPK is afraid of," concluded Rocky Gerung.
