Political expert from the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) Lili Romli suggested that members of the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) look for ways to increase the opportunity for presidential candidates or vice presidential candidates who will be promoted to have maximum effect on the tail of the coat or coat effect.

"What is clear is that the three parties [KIB members] are sufficient, there is no reason to disband. If the candidates are not popular, they are trying to popularize," said Lili in Jakarta, Tuesday, December 20.

Lili assessed that there are two candidates who have the opportunity to be promoted by KIB from within, namely Golkar Chairman Airlangga Hartarto and PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hasan. Meanwhile, the opportunity for Plt Ketum PPP Mardiono is still very small.

He added, in the nomination market towards 2024, KIB can also include external parties. "If the consideration is for the effect of the tail of the suit, they should move forward. Well, the progress can still be the leader of the party, it can also be from outside. It means not joining other parties," he said.

Lili also suggested that Golkar, PAN, and PPP be keen to popularize and promote candidates for the KIB coalition presidential and vice presidential candidates. For example, from within, namely Airlangga Hartarto. This effort is to immediately find out the extent of the tail of the suit obtained by KIB.

"Moreover, Golkar has set a target of 20 percent, if he doesn't go forward, it will be difficult. Moreover, there are challengers for new parties who have figures," he added.

Furthermore, Lili predicts, the 2024 presidential election will take place in two rounds if there are more than two pairs of candidates who contest.

Only after that, he continued, KIB could think of a way to win by joining another coalition or carrying a presidential candidate with a high potential victory. But for now, according to Lili, KIB must focus on popularizing candidates for presidential and vice presidential candidates who will be promoted. Therefore, there is an opportunity to gain more votes by utilizing the effect of the tail of the suit. "Because what is saved is the party. The problem later, yes later in the second round, you can count the numbers of wins," he said.
