JAKARTA - Executive Director of Indo Barometer M Qodari said that the 2024 presidential election could be filled with a single pair of candidates. This might happen if Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto are paired as candidate.
If both of them participate as candidate pairs, what will happen is that they will fight the empty box.
"If the scenario is abnormal, Jokowi pairs up with Prabowo and only becomes one partner (they) will face an empty box", said Qodari in an online discussion program broadcast on Transvision Official as quoted on Thursday, February 25.
According to him, this is possible because it is confirmed that all parties in the parliament will support the pair. "All political parties stand behind Jokowi and Prabowo", he explained.
"It's possible, definitely possible. Don't deny it because all parties are now part of the cabinet except PKS and Demokrat parties", added Qodari.
Even if the PKS and the Demokrat will enter their partners to compete, of course, they can't win against them. Because both of their seats in parliament did not meet the threshold for nominating a presidential candidate.
Thus, said Qodari, it is very certain that Jokowi-Prabowo will be competing with the empty box and become an invincible candidate pair.
"PKS is with Demokrat, the seats are not up to 20 percent. You can note this. The candidate pair for 2024 is only one, which is Jokowi-Prabowo. And there is no opponent (no, ed). That's an abnormal scenario", he explained
He further said that if the Jokowi-Prabowo pair actually appeared in the 2024 presidential election, there would be no two voter sides like the 2019 or 2014 presidential elections. Because both of them are nationalists.
However, the presidential election scenario is not only filled with the possibility of a Jokowi-Prabowo pair. He considered, there is a big chance that the candidate pairs from the Gerindra Party and the PDIP who are now more intimate.
As for the opponents, later it could be people who are considered representatives of religious groups such as the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan.
Another scenario would be if the PDIP nominates its own candidate pairs. This is very possible, given that the number of seats for the party is more than 20 percent.
Meanwhile, Gerindra could partner with other parties, while still presenting Prabowo as a presidential candidate. According to Qodari, Gerindra only needs to collaborate with political parties with moderate votes so that they can advance candidate pairs in the 2024 presidential election such as PAN or PKS.
"We have to see all these scenarios from now on so that we are prepared with all possibilities", he concluded.
