Not Only Jokowi, Megawati And PDIP Also Have To Be Waspadi Elite KIM Plus

JAKARTA The 2024 Central Java gubernatorial election is considered as the second volume of the 2024 presidential election if you look at the 'rivality' between Joko Widodo and Megawati Soekarnoputri and the PDI-P. Moreover, both are said to be ready to go down the mountain to win their respective candidate pairs.

UIN political observer Walisongo Semarang, Kholidul Adib admitted that the contestation of the Central Java gubernatorial election would be even more fierce if Megawati and Jokowi took down the arena. Especially Megawati, the physical presence of Soekarno's daughter in Central Java is believed to be able to influence the political preferences of local residents.

Actually what happened in the Central Java gubernatorial election was the beating of elite KIM Plus against Megawati and PDIP. So, even if the candidate pair promoted by Jokowi excels, it's not just a factor in Jokowi's superiority. However, because he and elite KIM Plus ganged up on Megawati and PDIP," he said, Sunday, November 3, 2024.

According to him, Megawati and PDIP must really go all out to face the onslaught of KIM Plus and Jokowi. The reason is, the Central Java gubernatorial election will prove and bet Megawati and PDIP's self-esteem, considering that the status of the bull cage will be released if Andika Perkasa-Hendrar Prihadi's pair loses to Ahmad Luthfi-Taj Yasin.

"On the other hand, if Megawati and PDIP can still survive and win the Andika-Hendi pair, then it can also be said that Megawati and PDIP are really the rulers of Central Java," added Kholidul.
