JAKARTA - The Daily Chair of the Gerindra Party DPP Sufmi Dasco Ahmad assessed that there was an oddity in the launch of the Jokowi-Prabowo Subianto National Secretariat (Seknas) for the 2024 presidential election (Pilpres).

"There's no problem with the other winning secretariats, but the shape of the Jokpro secretariat is strange," said Dasco, quoted on Saturday, June 19.

Surprisingly, said Dasco, the volunteer was the same as bringing up the discourse of bringing President Jokowi back in the 2024 presidential election contestation. Moreover, the 3 term term of office is not easy and there are a number of things that need to be taken.

Mainly, amendments to the 1945 Constitution in order to revise the president's term of office for 3 terms. In addition, the plan to re-promote Jokowi also needs to calculate the escalation and opinion from the public.

“Can this organization predict that the amendment can be changed like that? Yes, but it's called people's aspirations, so let's just leave it be," said the deputy chairman of the DPR.

It is known, a group of people declared the formation of Jokowi-Prabowo volunteers to run in the 2024 presidential election. This volunteer group then named themselves as JokPro Volunteers.

Indo Barometer Executive Director Muhammad Qodari, who is also an advisor to JokPro volunteers, revealed that the idea of pairing Jokowi-Prabowo in the upcoming presidential election came from various circles so that President Joko Widodo could continue his term as president or serve three terms.

Qodari is optimistic that the presence of a pair of presidential and vice presidential candidates in the 2024 presidential election can reduce the potential for polarization in society.

"So that extreme polarization does not occur, Jokowi-Prabowo just join. Cebong and kampret join. Against empty boxes, God willing, polarization will decrease. Peace will be safe and smooth," said M. Qodari.
