JAKARTA - The name of President Joko Widodo's youngest son, Kaesang Pangarep suddenly emerged as a potential candidate for millennial leader. Kaesang is considered to have a great opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Gibran Rakabuming's brother who is now the mayor of Solo even his father, President Joko Widodo.
This view was expressed by political observer of Al Azhar University Indonesia, Andriadi Achmad when responding to the projected issue of Gibran Rakabuming as a capres 2024.
According to Andriadi, it is natural for Gibran and Kaesang to run for office in the upcoming elections.
"It is natural that he is the president's son, then there are already footings (as regional head.red). The prospects are great. Don't let Gibran, Kaesang who today laughs like that, he also has a great political opportunity because he's the crown prince," Andriadi told VOI on Thursday, April 8.
The Executive Director of the Political Communication Studies and Research Centre (PolCom SRC) then compared Megawati's track record in politics. Where in the past, ketum PDIP was actively following the activities of his father, Sukarno in the Palace. A few years later Mega became the 5th president of The Republic of Indonesia.
"Who was Megawati? He was just a tugging man in the palace (where his father worked). That is, a few years he was in politics and learned to continue to become vice president and then president," explained Andriadi.
Likewise Kaesang, he said, the owner of the football club Persis Solo was also potentially the head of the region even the president. Although Kaesang is often discussed because of his actions that provoke cuteness.
"Yes this politics does not have to study in college, but in the field can be political" said Andriadi.
Known, Kaesang Pangarep is the new owner of Persis Solo. Kaesang recounts what was behind it until he decided to acquire Persis Solo.
When asked the purpose of acquiring Persis Solo, Kaesang said he wanted to be the leader of PSSI.
"I am confused this would answer jokingly or seriously. If I'm joking, maybe I want to be the successor of Ketum (PSSI)," he said, Wednesday, April 7.
