JAKARTA - Director of Trias Politica, Agung Baskoro assessed that KIM Plus's move, especially Prabowo Subianto's decision to 'relieve' the Pramono Anung-Rano Karno pair to win the Jakarta Pilkada has been carefully calculated.

According to him, these signs can be read when complaints arise such as a coalition that is not solid to minimal logistics. In addition, compared to the ongoing KIM Plus movement in Central Java, East Java, to Banten, their movements in the Jakarta Pilkada seem different.

In my opinion, the reason for reducing political tension makes sense, especially with the current PDIP status 'continued' from Central Java. In addition, releasing Jakarta also has the opportunity to open a space for reconciliation between Prabowo and Megawati," said Agung, Sunday, December 15, 2024.

He also revealed that Jakarta was also not completely released considering that there is still an Agglomeration Council that can be used as a KIM Plus vehicle to control the capital city. The reason is, based on the Law (UU) of the Special Region of Jakarta (DKJ), the President is given the right to appoint who will sit in the Agglomeration Council.

The Agglomeration Council will coordinate the implementation of spatial planning for national strategic areas in agglomeration areas and the master planning document for the development of agglomeration areas, the simple function of the council is to reduce regional egos.

"It could be that Ridwan Kamil will later be appointed by Prabowo as chairman. Golkar also does not deny this signal, and for me PDIP there is also no problem if RK is appointed. It's different if Gibran is appointed as Chairman of the Agglomeration Regional Council," said Agung.
