JAKARTA - We do not yet know who will be president for the United States (US). What was clear wasn't Kanye West.

The 43-year-old rapper failed after only collecting 60 thousand votes from an estimated total of 160 million. Another independent, Libertarian, Jo Jorgensen made a much stronger appearance claiming more than 1.5 million votes.

However, West's political career may not be over. This week he tweeted: Kanye 2024. Many consider the tweet to be a sign that there have been many offers of support for West in the next election period.

In this first presidential bid, West appeared in the ballot in 12 states, past filing deadlines in most other states. He garnered the most votes in Tennessee with 10,188.

Although it did not reach the end of the race, this achievement shows extraordinary dynamics, considering that Tennessee is the territory of Trump's party that supports Trump, the Republic, in many elections. When West announced his candidacy in July, he had said he would emulate Wakanda, the fictional kingdom of Black Panther.

Ending police brutality is West's priority. This he said to Forbes in an interview. "Like cleaning chemicals in our deodorant, in our toothpaste," West analogous is an incredibly difficult mission.

West's mental state

Why West named his party "Birthday Party". According to West, the name of the party symbolizes the party for the rebirth of US citizens through its victory. "Because when we win, it's everybody's birthday party," said West.

But West's candidacy has been the subject of much criticism. Quoted by the BBC, Saturday, November 7, at the rally as well as the launch of its official campaign in Charleston, South Carolina, West issued some confusing harsh words.

At one point he said that 19th century abolitionist Harriet Tubman "never really freed slaves. He just made slaves work for other people. White."

West later started crying when he talked about abortion. He said that his parents almost aborted him. And that's why he wanted to abort his daughter.

West's statements have been caught more strangely. Many are worried about their mental condition.

Last year, West had revealed that he had bipolar disorder. His wife, Kim Kadarshian West, also had time to upload important information on social media. Amid West's candidacy, Kim Kadarshian appealed for "compassion and empathy" for West whose "words sometimes don't go the way he intended."

In addition, West's uploads also became a problem, when he tweeted, inviting his followers to write

And a post on Twitter by West urging his followers to put his name on the ballot for the president sparked criticism that he was effectively extracting votes from legitimate candidates.
