Recently, the name Andika Perkasa emerged as a potential new presidential candidate by several circles. Moreover, Andika will end her tenure in December 2022 at the age of 58 years. It is also said that Andika's term of office could be extended until 2024. Political observer from Al Azhar University Indonesia, Andriadi Achmad, said that General Andika Perkasa's election as TNI Commander was predictable from a long time ago.

According to Andriadi, the election of Andika Perkasa as Commander of the TNI is a smooth path to build the best track and achievements for the 2024 presidential election. "After retiring from the TNI in December 2022, there is still time for Andika Perkasa to prepare to win a ticket for the 2024 presidential election," explained the Executive Director of the Nusantara Institute. PolCom SRC told VOI, Tuesday 9 November.
As the son-in-law of General AM. Hendropriyono, continued Andriadi, the figure of Andika Perkasa reminded the public of the figure of Prabowo Subianto when he was young, where he was the son-in-law of the great General President Suharto. Also like Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) as the son-in-law of General Sarwo Edhie Wibowo. "So in terms of demeanor and body posture as well as having a face that is liked by women. It is possible that in 2024 Andika Perkasa will follow in the footsteps of SBY as President of the Republic of Indonesia and be very wide open," said Andriadi.
According to Andriadi, while serving as commander of the TNI, General Andika Perkasa must make the best achievements. No less important is how Andika Perkasa can attract the Indonesian people to sympathize and admire him.
"In addition, highlighting the family tree that Andika Perkasa is of Blitar descent from East Java. In the sense that Andika Perkasa is Javanese is also quite important. Because it has become a standard in Indonesian society that the President of the Republic of Indonesia must be of Javanese descent," he explained. "Furthermore, political vehicles need to be prepared. Either establish their own political party or join an existing political party after retiring from the TNI in December 2022," said Andriadi.
