JAKARTA - Researcher of the Parliamentary Concerned Community Forum (Formappi) Lucius Karus reminded the potential of "family politics" during the 2024 General Election. He also advised the public to be more careful in determining choices when entering ballots. "The emergence of candidates chosen by the party has potential, because of family or family politics relationships, because candidates are popular or because they have money become very potential in 2024," said Lucius during a discussion on "Family Politics Ahead of the 2024 Simultaneous Elections" in Jakarta, Thursday, February 23, confiscated by Antara.

According to him, there are several reasons that make the family's political potential proliferate in 2024, among others, the absence of changes from a formal legal perspective related to competition rules in 2024.

"We suspect or believe that the political contestation of this family or political family will be very widespread in 2024. Moreover, in the 2024 election there will be two elections in the same year," he said.

This, he said, would be busy with political parties because they had to prepare various efforts to win the contestation, including preparing candidates who could potentially win political parties.

"Of course, this condition makes political parties most likely to choose candidates in a family manner who will clearly win parties, or who are popular to vote and who have the wealth to become competitive capital," said Lucius.

Then, he continued, coupled with the addition of electoral districts, legislative seats and the addition of political parties participating in the election, so that the need for candidates to be promoted in the legislative, presidential or regional elections has increased.

"Meanwhile, political parties only have a short time to prepare for this, there is only about one more year left. In fact, political parties must prepare a list of candidates since April 2023," he said.

Then also, continued Lucius, not all political parties are political parties with mature cadre readiness to become candidates for the election. Some are even new political parties.

"Meanwhile, among the parties participating in this political party there is a new party, then when will they look for cadres and when will regeneration be if they already have cadres," he said.

Therefore, he reminded that this condition could produce members of the legislature and regional heads who are not qualified for the 2024 General Election, so people need to be more thorough in determining their choices before voting in the voter in the upcoming year's election.
