TANGERANG - The presence of comic Marshel Widianto as a candidate for Deputy Mayor of South Tangerang (Sabaron Tangsel) has become a public concern. A number of observers also gave their responses regarding the nomination of the comic figure.

Ahmad Syailendra assessed that Marshel's presence in the South Tangerang Pilkada was a different color from other cities.

"Because since 2010, the South Tangerang Pilkada has always been dynamic. The presence of Marshel will certainly present options for the people of South Tangerang, not just that," said Syailendra when confirmed, Wednesday, July 24.

Although Marshel is considered quite early in this world of politics, for Syailendra, a leader in the era of direct democracy today is not seen from his experience in politics. However, continued Syailendra, seen from the way participants can mingle in society or not.

"Moreover, Marshel was paired by political party figures who were no doubt like Riza Patria, the former Deputy Governor of DKI at that time. The status concerned became a public figure, becoming an important entry point in increasing the popularity of this couple later," he said.

Syailendra also said that the presence of Marshel could continue to boost electability, so that he could synergize with his supporting parties and go to the community.

"Because the existing popularity can be capitalized properly. It seems that it will be a tough opponent for its competitors. (Moreover) Marshel has the support of celebrities including Raffi Ahmad, and is also not a new person in politics, has been active in the Gerindra wing organs. Of course this can help him to launch his political activities and movements in South Tangerang," he concluded.
