JAKARTA - The name Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) was discussed again after coming to the surface after his meeting with the Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming. Some have guessed Ahok's meeting as a political maneuver.
Political observer from Lingkar Madani (Lima) Indonesia, Ray Rangkuti suspects that the possibility of meeting Ahok and Gibran is a signal that pdip will run both as governors in the upcoming 2024 regional elections.
"I think Ahok in DKI, Gibran Central Java. If it's not. Or PDIP will nominate him as regional head, it may be paired with Gibran in DKI Jakarta or in Central Java," Ray told VOI, Friday, April 9.
According to Ray, the 2024 regional elections will probably be a golden momentum for Ahok to reclaim the dki 1 seat. Considering Anies Baswedan is projected to advance as a capres.
"If Ahok continues to optimize his popularity, either as a cakada in 2024 to come. Because of the assumptions ahead anies rise to capres, DKI seems lowong. Well Ahok can enter because a few people still accept him in DKI Jakarta or in Central Java. There are many options if Ahok is," he said.
He sees Ahok's status as an ex-convict as unlikely to make his move in national politics. Moreover, in the Act there are no rules related to the ban.
"There is no problem, in our Law there is no prohibition. Ex-corrupt people can. So there is still open public acceptance of him is still high," said Ray Rangkuti.
Similar to Ray, political communication expert Hendri Satrio said Ahok still had a chance to participate in the 2024 regional elections despite Ahok's track record as a former inmate. The condition is that Ahok, who is now the president commissioner of Pertamina, must have a qualified political tandem.
"If the president can't. But if the head of the district can still but check (Law.red) again. It depends on Who Ahok is," Hendri told VOI on Friday, April 9.
However, unlike Ray, Hendri thinks Ahok will not be nominated in the capital. That's also if PDIP want to carry it.
"I think his position as chief commissioner is at its best at the moment, unless there is a surprise, pdip suddenly pushed him as a candidate for regional head in 2024. But maybe not in the capital yes," explained Hensat, a familiar greeting Hendri Satrio.
The reason, he continued, the citizens of the capital have largely rejected Ahok since the blasphemy case.
"Because resistance is quite fair so in other cities or placed first as a member of the House of Representatives later at the time of legislative elections 2024. This is the time for him to build a political career again," hensat explained.
"I think typical Ahok is tumultuous and has a great spirit. It will not stop and be satisfied as the president commissioner of Pertamina aja. That's why yesterday to Gibran," he continued.
But according to the director of the KedaiKOPI survey institute, Ahok's projection is greater as a candidate for regional head in Bali. If not nominated PDIP take a portion in Central Java.
"I think Bali yes, so indeed central voters PDIP such as Bali and Central Java will probably be the next landing place ahok," said Hensat.
