JAKARTA Political expert from Andalas University (Unand) West Sumatra Asrinaldi assessed that Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto and Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo are one of the ideal pairs and have great potential to win if they run in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).
"I believe in the context of the calculations, it is ideal because Pak Prabowo and Pak Ganjar have high electability," said West Sumatra Andalas (Unand) political expert Asrinaldi in Padang, Wednesday, as reported by Antara.
The author of the book entitled "Political Powers in Indonesia" assessed that the opportunity for Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto to have a duet with Ganjar Pranowo was quite large in the 2024 presidential election.
From several survey institutions, the names of Prabowo Subianto, Ganjar Pranowo and former Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan are always included in the ranks of the highest electability related to the 2024 presidential election. On that basis, Asrinaldi believes that if Prabowo and Ganjar are paired, it will make it easier for him to win the five-year democratic party.
The high electability of Prabowo and Ganjar Pranowo is also inseparable from the strong influence of voters from each of these names.
Although several survey institutions tried to juxtapose several names or pairs of candidates for President and Vice President, the public is considered to be focused on the three figures, namely Prabowo Subianto, Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo.
"They go to the field, the enthusiasm of the community is also high. This illustrates the political power that strengthens who the presidential candidate will be," he said.
On the other hand, Asrinaldi assessed that the meeting between the President and Prabowo and Ganjar during the harvest season in Kebumen Regency some time ago was considered as a signal of support from the former mayor of Solo to the two names.
In fact, he continued, it could be a meeting of the head of state with Prabowo and Ganjar to balance the strength of Anies Baswedan, who each time he went to the field also received a positive response from grassroots.
The academic who was born in Solok on September 13, 1973 was of the view that Prabowo and Ganjar Pranowo were able to suppress polarization in the community.
Registration for presidential and vice presidential candidates is scheduled for October 19, 2023 to November 25, 2023.
