JAKARTA - Former Chairman of the Democratic Party Anas Urbaningrum said the political dynamics that have occurred ahead of the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) are still in the fair category.

"If I see that there is no politics that is not dynamic, let alone elections, especially the presidential election. The dynamics must be high. But in my opinion, the dynamics that have emerged so far are still reasonable, appropriate dynamics," said Anas when met after the Halalbihalal and National Gathering III of the Indonesian Network (Jari) at the Bidakara Hotel, Jakarta, reported by ANTARA, Sunday, May 21.

Especially regarding the presidential election (pilpres), said Anas, the dynamics that occurred were related to the process of forming a coalition.

This is because the majority of political parties (political parties) need a coalition to dispatch presidential candidates (candidates) and vice presidential candidates (cawapres).

"There is only one party that can dispatch its own candidates. It must also have a need to build a coalition," he said.

Related to this, Anas assessed that the dynamics of forming a coalition that occurred were natural until they finally formed a complete coalition and gave birth to pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates.

"After that, from the schedule, the registration of the candidate will still be in October," said Anas.

In his national oration on the agenda, Anas said the current political dynamics are about simulations of forming coalitions and the possibility of pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates.

"What happened was the usual dynamics, the attraction in the process of forming a coalition and efforts to simulate the possibility of pairs, simulating the emergence of the most likely pairs from the coalition process, which until now has not been clear, then the people will," he explained.

Anas added that political competition does not need to kill other candidate opportunities.

"There is nothing to turn off the opportunity, there is nothing to kill the political opportunity, to kill in the middle of the road, let alone not run," he said.

According to him, trying to kill political opportunities is not a difficult matter. However, he considered that no party had shown potential towards that effort so far.

"It didn't happen and I don't think it was done. Because of that, in my opinion, the situation is still appropriate in the sense of political competition," said Anas.
