JAKARTA - Rumors are circulating that the United Indonesia Coalition is a lifeboat endorsed by President Joko Widodo for Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo if he cannot run in the 2024 presidential election from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP).
Responding to this, political observer from the Cyrus Network Hasan Nasbi believes that Ganjar Pranowo is one of those endorsed by President Jokowi to become a candidate.
This was based on Jokowi's gesture when he spoke with Ganjar on several occasions. Including the names that have appeared as candidates in various survey institutions.
"But (Ganjar) is not the only one (figure). Because Mr. Jokowi cannot play one card. I am sure that Mr. Jokowi will try to stand above all those who intend to become a presidential candidate," said Hasan Nasbi, Friday, June 10.
In fact, Hasan believes that President Jokowi also supports the General Chair of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartarto, who has been supported by his cadres to become a presidential candidate, if he wants to advance from the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB).
"I believe that Pak Jokowi also supports Airlangga if he wants to move forward from KIB, Sandiaga Uno if he wants to go forward, Prabowo is also supported and maybe even a way out of the impasse. In fact, if Anies Baswedan asked for his blessing, Jokowi would definitely support him. So Ganjar is the one who endorsed but not the only one," he explained.
Therefore, Hasan suggested that Ganjar Pranowo continue to pursue the ticket for the 2024 presidential candidate from the PDIP. Because, these efforts will have an impact on him to be a political role model.
"If you want to be a political role model, as a cadre of Ganjar Pranowo, you have to try to get tickets from the PDI-P. If you don't get the support of a candidate from that party, don't beat Kromo to another party," Hasan said.
According to Hasan, if Ganjar insists on going through KIB then his steps can be considered unethical in politics. Because it means, Ganjar takes over the other party in any way. Where, it will also have an impact on its existence in the world of politics in the future.
"If they force it through KIB, they don't have an emotional relationship, have no organizational relationship. In the end, the party also thinks short, OK, we accept it, but in the future, later. The party that raised it is left alone. And I'm sure the party in KIB doesn't want to take it risk, they must stroke their own internal candidates," he said.
