JAKARTA - Secretary of the PSI DPP Board of Trustees Raja Juli Antoni assessed that the rows of vice presidential candidates circulating in the public have their respective advantages and disadvantages.

But what is certain, he said, is that the plus value of the presidential candidate will be determined by who the vice presidential candidate is.

"The presidential candidate pairs will determine the electoral direction of the people's day. The vice presidential candidate does not only play a symbolic role or "complete" as happened in several previous presidential elections," Raja Juli said on his Twitter account, @RajaJuliAntoni, Wednesday, August 23.

According to him, the names of the vice presidential candidates circulating such as Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD, BUMN Minister Erick Thohir, Menparekraf Sandiaga Uno, West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil, Indonesian 4th President Abdurrahman Wahid alias Gus Dur Yenny Wahid, are very promising.

These figures also arouse the taste of people's political participation, especially when the names of the Mayor of Solo Gibran Rakabuming and the Deputy Governor of East Java Emil Elestianto Dardak entered the vice presidential market.

"Young and cool names that represent the largest "market" of 2024 voters. In other words, the Vice Presidential Candidate determines the political map and pendulum of the 2024 presidential election," said the Deputy Minister of ATR BPN.

He said the idea was also in line with the second point of PSI National Land Coffee (Kopdarnas) which was mentioned by PSI Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees Grace Natalie at Tennis Indoor Senayan, Jakarta, yesterday.

The man who is familiarly called Tonny revealed that if the Constitutional Court (MK) grants a judicial review submitted by LBH PSI regarding the age limit of the vice presidential candidate for at least 35 years, the direction of PSI DPP support is unanimous. He emphasized that PSI will support candidate cawapres who have the capacity and capability of young people.

"Secondly, with the main principle of President Jokowi's "Ojo Kesusu", we ask that the determination of the presidential candidate from PSI also depend on who the vice presidential candidate is. It is necessary to pay close attention to all political dynamics including the judicial review process to the Constitutional Court regarding the age limit for presidential and vice presidential candidates being proposed by LBH PSI at the Constitutional Court," Raja Juli quoted Grace's statement during the PSI National Coordination Commission.
