JAKARTA - Several elements of society have begun to emerge to support the chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri running as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

In response, political communication observer at Esa Unggul University, Jamiluddin Ritonga, assessed that the support was good if it was purely the will of the people.

"People really think that Firli is worthy of being the leader of Indonesia, especially in eradicating corruption. But if it's just a political mobilization, then this form of support only wants to form a false public opinion," said Jamiluddin in Jakarta, Monday, February 21.

According to Jamiluddin, this support was only engineered by a few people so that Firli was indeed worthy of being the leader of Indonesia. Concerns about the strength of political mobilization are well-founded. Because, he said, a lot of support from the community was not reflected in the survey results from several credible survey institutions.

"This can be seen by Firli's low electability. This indicates that the amount of support that appears in the media is inversely proportional to her electability," he said.

"So, judging from the electability, Firli's chance to run for presidential candidate seems very small. Political parties will certainly find it difficult to carry non-cadres with low electability," continued Jamiluddin.

For this reason, Jamiluddin considered, Firli must increase his electability in this relatively short time. Firli has to show that the KPK he leads is much better than the previous anti-corruption agency. "That's a challenge as well as an opportunity for Firli if she really wants to run for president. The problem is, does Firli dare, for example, make a monumental breakthrough at the KPK by examining the use of funds for handling COVID-19?," he asked. Jamiluddin.

"It is also possible that Firli will arrest (Harun) Masiku in the near future and examine who is involved in the case," he said.
