Dynamical Politics Boy Sadikin: Head Of Jokowi-Ahok Team First, Head Of Anies-Sandi Volunteer Team Then

JAKARTA - A prestigious battle in political contestation can be seen in the 2012 DKI Jakarta Pilgub. The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) and the Greater Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra) unite to carry the pair Joko Widodo (Jokowi)-Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok).

The two parties agreed with politician Boy Bernardi Sadikin to become Jokowi-Ahok Teamses. The result was jarring. Ali Sadikin's son was able to bring Jokowi-Ahok to victory. However, in the 2017 gubernatorial election Boy was actually in the camp against Ahok.

The enthusiasm of the whole of Indonesia for the 2012 DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election is high. This condition is because who will lead Jakarta can get a large portion of being a national figure. The electability is considered useful for formulating plans for higher political contestation such as the presidential election.

Another said that Jakarta was a big stepping stone. President Jokowi once proved it in 2014. As a result, existing parties began to establish contact to make the coalition fat carry its candidates. However, PDIP and Gerindra are left because they have not yet announced their candidates.

Golkar and his friends have nominated Alex Noordin and Nono Sampono. Democrats and friends made the choice to support the incumbent Fauzi Bowo-Nachrowi Ramli. PDIP-Gerindra also tried its hopes.

Both of them nominated Jokowi-Ahok. The nomination was prepared really. PDIP-Gerindra then made Boy Sadikin the head of the Jokowi-Ahok Team. The selection of Boy Sadikin was not without reason. Boy is not only limited to the popularity of his father (Ali Sadikin: Governor of DKI Jakarta 1966-1977).

However, Boy has become a seasoned PDIP politician who started the career of PDIP members from below and succeeded since 1998. The result was jarring. Boy was able to be the mouthpiece of the Jokowi-Ahok couple. Whoever beat Jokowi-Ahok with the negative issue Boy Sadikin always put up a body to explain.

He explained with good and easy-to-understand grammar. Boy is able to wrap up Jokowi-Ahok's campaign as best as possible, he combines creative campaigns and takes advantage of the symbol of candidate simplicity. This condition made Betawi's bloodless Jokowi-Ahok able to excel in the first phase of the gubernatorial election on July 11, 2012.

The candidate who was supported by Golkar fell out. This condition remains only the fight between Jokowi-Ahok and Foke-Nara. However, Dewi Fortuna was on Jokowi-Ahok's side in the second round of the DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election on September 20, 2012.

Boy who contributed to the victory did not want to mention the victory of the 2012 DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election in a small scope. He called Jokowi-Ahok's victory a victory for Jakarta residents.

"Of course we are happy and have to work hard again. But this is not just Jokowi-Ahok's victory. This is the victory of the people of Jakarta. This is proof that the citizens of Jakarta are smart in choosing based on conscience. This is something good. Thank you to the residents who have come to the TPS to win Jokowi-Ahok. Thank you also for keeping Jakarta's condition safe," said Boy Sadikin during the first stage of the gubernatorial election quoted by the compass.com page, July 11, 2012.

Perhaps if Jokowi continues his intention to build Jakarta (not become President of Indonesia), Boy might support the Mebel Tukang in the 2017 DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election. However, that is impossible.

PDIP is already busy nominating Ahok as a candidate for the gubernatorial candidate who competes. Boy was initially rumored to be accompanying Ahok to become a cawagub. However, the issue missed. PDIP instead nominated Ahok- Djarot Saiful Hidayat.

Boy also concluded that he would not support Ahok. He considered Ahok as a jumping rat politician, from Golkar, Gerindra, then PDIP. Another consideration that is considered important is Boy, Ahok is the reason for the emergence of many SARA issues. His mouth is uncontrollable. There are also several policies that Ahok has worked out to hurt the hearts of Jakarta residents.

At its peak, Ahok often blamed his father (Ali Sadikin) Boy as the culprit of the Jakarta problem. Boy chose not to support Ahok. He also decided to leave PDIP on September 21, 2016. Boy was then appointed chairman of the Anies Baswedan-Sandiaga Uno Volunteer Team, which incidentally against Ahok.

Taji Boy Sadikin was actually able to win Anies-Sandi. PDIP is also considered a loss because it has wasted its cadres. In fact, Boy has been a PDIP cadre since 1999. He started his career from below, then he is a major PDIP politician. The cases of Boy and Ahok are proof that politics is dynamic. Today, friends, tomorrow will be opponents.

"I don't like Ahok not because of SARA, because Ahok is a Chinese and Christian ethnic, but because of his personality who likes to scold civil servants as if it is the right one. SARA maker is Ahok himself," said Boy Sadikin as quoted by ANTARA, September 21, 2016.
