JAKARTA - The banner of the Minister of SOEs Erick Thohir suddenly appeared in the community. Banners that read Erick Thohir Candidate 2024 were installed on the side of the road.

Esa Unggul University political communication observer Jamiluddin Ritonga suspects that the banner was deliberately created by volunteers. They want Joko Widodo's minister to run in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

"The volunteers also made a declaration of support for Erick to run for president. They will continue to voice Erick as a person worthy of being president," Jamiluddin said to VOI, Friday, April 22.

According to him, this banner was intentionally put up by volunteers to make it look like it was from the community. In fact, Jamiluddin suspects that it was deliberately made. "This was deliberately created so that Erick was given the impression that the people needed him to become a presidential candidate," he said.

Jamiluddin said this approach is common in Indonesia. Even though he wants to become a presidential candidate, he will not openly state his desire. This, he said, had to be done because those who said they wanted to become a presidential candidate (leader) would be judged as ambitious. Meanwhile, society generally does not want an ambitious figure to become a leader.

"Therefore, to make his wish come true, he will use other people to voice it," said Jamiluddin. he added.
