JAKARTA Memories today, three years ago, July 6, 2022, the survey institute, Political Weather Station (PWS) confirmed that Prabowo Subianto is the minister with the best performance in the Joko Widodo (Jokowi) administration.
Prabowo outperformed other ministers such as Sandiaga Uno to Erick Thohir in their survey. Previously, Prabowo's presence in Jokowi's cabinet brought a stir. The two of them first became known as rivals and then worked together. Prabowo was asked to become Minister of Defense (Menhan).
The world of politics often proves that the narrative of no friend and an opponent is true. Whoever was originally an arch-enemy, may have recently embraced each other. This narrative occurs in the world of Indonesian politics.
Jokowi and Prabowo are known as sworn enemies. Both of them often compete in the political contestation of the 2014 and 2019 presidential elections. Mutual criticism between the two is common. Even though Prabowo often loses.
In particular, Jokowi and Prabowo actually tried to work together in 2019. Jokowi embraced Prabowo and tried to make him the Minister of Defense. That trust received a positive response from Prabowo. Prabowo considers it a great honor to be able to help Jokowi.

The case is that Prabowo supporters do not easily accept his benefits as Minister of Defense. They want Prabowo to remain in the opposition to the government. However, Prabowo emphasized that his goal of helping Jokowi is noble. He wants to devote himself to the Indonesian people.
Prabowo also does not want the world of Indonesian politics to be like in the United States (US). Take for example between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Both remain enemies of society continuously. Prabowo considered this condition not good. Different opinions don't mean they have to be hostile.
"Well, that's where Indonesian culture is a culture of kinship. We can compete. We can have different opinions, but remember we are all one big family. So we can solve differences of opinion. I want to be president, but it doesn't happen. Want to be angry with God? Yes, I can't, but I'm pretty good at the Minister of Defense now," Prabowo said as quoted on the detik.com page, July 6, 2022.
Prabowo admitted that many of his supporters did not agree that he entered Jokowi's government. However, Prabowo tries to prove that working together is not a necessity. Prabowo tries to prove himself able to work well as the Minister of Defense.
The results can be seen in several polls. Prabowo is often considered one of the best ministers in the Jokowi administration. This is evidenced by the results of a poll conducted by PWS.
The survey institute announced Prabowo as the minister with the best performance on July 6, 2022. Prabowo is ahead with 15.1 percent. Prabowo was also followed by Menparekraf, Sandiaga Uno (11.8 percent), and the Minister of SOEs, Erick Thohir (11.4).
Prabowo is superior because he is considered to be doing excessive imaging. The survey itself was conducted on June 15-28, 2022.
Opinions were also taken from 1,420 respondents from various regions in the archipelago. The survey was conducted with face-to-face interviews via multistage random sampling.
"We can see on his social media, Mr. Prabowo, rarely updates that are too careless to seek popularity or flirtancy politically. So we note that he tends to be stable, Mr. Prabowo because he focuses on performance, focuses on serving the government of President Jokowi-Ma'ruf Amin," said PWS researcher Mohammad Tidzi as quoted by the COMPASS.com page, July 6, 2022.
