Counting Prabowo To Advance Again In The 2024 Presidential Election, Gerindra Is Advised To Look For Another Candidate

JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party seems still curious to make its party leader the President of the Republic of Indonesia. The General Chairperson of Gerindra, Prabowo Subianto, is indeed not shy if there is an opportunity to run for the third presidential candidate.

"Well, if to serve and given the opportunity, given the trust why not?" Prabowo said in the Deddy Corbuzier podcast, as seen on Sunday, June 13.

Recently, the Gerindra Party loudly confirmed that General Chair Prabowo Subianto would run as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

The Secretary General of the Gerindra Party, Ahmad Muzani, revealed the certainty of Prabowo's participation in the Regional Coordination Meeting of the Gerindra South Sulawesi Regional Representative Council, Saturday, October 9.

The party bearing the symbol of the Garuda bird is targeting Prabowo's vote in South Sulawesi (South Sulawesi) to win with a percentage of 65 percent.

"I said, in 2024, Pak Prabowo, God willing, will advance in the presidential election," said Muzani in his statement, Sunday, October 10.

The advancement of Prabowo, who is also the Minister of Defense, said Muzani, was due to the massive demand from the community and cadres.

"His progress is because the people's expectations are so high, development must continue, our party aspirations have not been realized," said Muzani.

"So, what you just said (asking for Prabowo to run in the presidential election, ed) we will continue. And by not preempting his answer, I say once again, God willing, Pak Prabowo will run in the 2024 presidential election," he continued.

In the coordination meeting, Muzani asked all components of Gerindra Sulsel, starting from the DPD, DPC, PAC, to the branches to win Prabowo. In the 2019 presidential election, he said, Prabowo as a presidential candidate managed to win in South Sulawesi with 57 percent of the vote. "Our determination to win Pak Prabowo in 2024 must be greater. become a determining factor for Prabowo's victory," said Muzani. "At least with a minimum target of 65 percent victory. With that target, then, make South Sulawesi the home of Gerindra," he added.

In fact, the Gerindra Party has other potential names besides the ketum, such as Sandiaga Uno. Seeing the trend of the younger generation in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, should Gerindra re-nominate Prabowo?

Prabowo and Sandiaga Survey Enter the Top Four

Looking at the survey, Prabowo Subianto's name is indeed undefeated as a presidential candidate. But the electability of the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, is already in the top four regarding the 2024 presidential candidate.

This finding is based on a survey by Saiful Mujani Research and Consultant (SMRC). The results of the SMRC survey conducted with a semi-open choice simulation stated that the electability of the General Chairperson of the Gerindra Party, Prabowo Subianto, was still in the top position with 18.1 percent. SMRC Research Director Deni Irvani in a virtual press conference, Thursday, October 7. From the survey, the second position was occupied by Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo with an electability rate of 15.8 percent, followed by DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan with 11.1 percent. , in fourth position is the name of the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno with 4.8 percent electability, and fifth position is the Chairman of the Democratic Party Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) 3.6 percent.

For information, the survey was conducted in the period 15-21 September 2021. The survey respondents included all Indonesian citizens who have the right to vote in the General Election. The total respondents were 1220 people and were selected randomly (multistage random sampling). The margin of error of this survey was 3.19 percent with a confidence level of 95 percent. For the record, the valid response rate is 981 people or 80 percent. They were analyzed and interviewed face to face.

Gerindra must think carefully about nominating Prabowo or Sandiaga

The Gerindra Party seems to have more mature calculations to bring back General Chair Prabowo Subianto in the 2024 presidential election.

This was stated by the Executive Director of Indonesia Political Opinion (IPO), Dedi Kurnia Syah, responding to the possibility of Gerindra carrying Prabowo Subianto, Sandiaga Uno or other figures in 2024. This is because, despite winning in various survey institutions, the electability of the Indonesian defense minister tends to stagnate and even decline recently. this.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Party Board of Trustees and the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno, has continued to increase his electability. "Prabowo is already in a very stagnant stage, while Sandiaga Uno is still quite dynamic and has the opportunity to leave Prabowo Subianto far away," said Dedi to VOI, Tuesday, October 5. In the findings of the IPO itself on August 2-10, he continued, Sandiaga had left Prabowo both in terms of popularity and electability. "This means that Gerindra must be really mature. If Gerindra re-submits Prabowo and no longer carries Sandiaga, the chances of losing are greater than carrying Sandiaga," explained Dedi. Then, said Dedi, the trend in the 2024 presidential election is the trend of new figures. For example, Anies Baswedan, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), Erick Tohir, Ganjar Pranowo, are new names that in the public's mind have never entered a contest.

"If Prabowo is the only person who is the most senior in the arena of contestation, people tend to forget. And this is talking about data, meaning that there has been a downward trend towards Prabowo Subianto," explained Dedi.

So, he added, if Gerindra wants to think rationally, it would be much better now to propose another name besides Prabowo Subianto. At least, said Dedi, not at the last minute of the presidential announcement.

"The sooner, they better decide whether Sandiaga Uno will run or keep Prabowo Subianto," said Dedi.

"If I am asked for advice, I will propose Sandiaga Uno, more potential," he continued.

According to Dedi, the Gerindra Party should not force itself to re-nominate Prabowo Subianto. Because, it is predicted that the general chairman will taste the defeat of the presidential election for the third time. "That's right (don't force it, ed). If their goal is to win, I think Prabowo must give up the position of a presidential candidate. If his position is only to fulfill political desires, then go ahead, but above that number, Prabowo is no longer attractive to voters, especially in 2024," he said
