The Dynamics Of Indonesian Politics In The Future Influenced By 3 Forces
Political observer Hendri Satrio (Hensat) said that the dynamics of politics in Indonesia in the future will be influenced by three political forces, namely a new ruler, a former ruler and hybrid ruler.
He revealed that the new rulers are those who are now in power, such as President Prabowo Subianto and the Gerindra Party, former rulers represented by the PDI-P and Megawati Soekarnoputri and hybrid rulers who are a combination of the old rulers and new rulers represented by the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi).
"This hybrid control complements the previous two groups. Even though his term of office ended, the hybrid rulers still had a big influence through high political networks and public satisfaction," he said, Wednesday, January 1, 2025.
According to the founder of the KedaiKOPI Survey Institute, even though Jokowi's term of office has ended, his influence still feels strong considering the presence of close people in Prabowo's cabinet, as well as the election of Gibran Rakabuming Raka as vice president.
"Pak Jokowi at the end of his term of office is still high in public satisfaction. So, if the question is still in power or not? In terms of influence, he is still big, but legally, he is no longer in power," he added.
He considered that the interaction of these three forces would create interesting political dynamics. There is a kind of tug-of-war, even the politics of the hostages, between the new rulers and the former rulers who both have great political power.

In addition, good relations between Jokowi and Prabowo are also a new phenomenon between Indonesia. This is because relations between the presidents are often colored by friction, such as from Soekarno to Suharto, from Suharto to Habibie and Megawati Soekarnoputri to Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
"I hope the people can continue to monitor how these three forces interact because they will affect the policies and direction of the government in the future," said Hensat.
