JAKARTA - The attraction of political contestation in the class of the Presidential Election (Pilpres) is very high. The idea of the nation's future leaders is getting warmer and more heated. In the 2019 presidential election, for example. The 2019 presidential election is also famous for 'presenting' dramas like soap operas.

Dramas not only highlight Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Prabowo Subianto's rivalry, but also sympathizers. The drama was perpetuated by Ratna Sarumpaet, an activist who was part of Prabowo-Sandi's winning team. He once caused a stir when he was beaten by unknown people to a pulp.

People's parties in the presidential election have never lost their charm. Even though the composition of the presidential candidate is not much different from the previous political contestation. This condition can be seen in the 2019 Presidential Election. The political machines of the supporting parties do not want to bother.

The figure who has high popularity will soon be appointed as a presidential candidate. This step was taken by the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP). The party bearing the bull symbol immediately chose Jokowi. Jokowi's figure is considered never to lose even in political contestation.

Jokowi has been proven to be superior in the Solo Pilwalkot, DKI Jakarta Pilgup, and 2014 Presidential Election. The Greater Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra) does not want to lose. Gerindra officials, Prabowo Subianto were again nominated as presidential candidates.

The presence of Jokowi and Prabowo is considered a guarantee of reduced drama in the implementation of the 2019 presidential election. In fact, it is far from burning. Dramas like soap operas continue to accompany the preparations for political contestation.

It may be that the presidential candidate election process went smoothly without obstacles. However, the determination of the Vice Presidential Candidate actually brought about drama. The Indonesian people are presented a story involving conflict and emotions. Jokowi unexpectedly chose the Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) from the 2015-2020 era, Ma'ruf Amin as the Vice President.

In fact, the name Mahfud MD was first predicted to accompany Jokowi. Prabowo's camp, especially. The famous clerics Ustaz Abdul Somad (UAS) and Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) were said to accompany Prabowo as Vice Presidential Candidate.

The final decision of Prabowo's camp chose the name of the businessman who is also a politician, Sandiaga Uno. Watching is like a long drama.

In the midst of this balance, Prabowo then took the initiative to appoint Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno as his companion in this presidential election battle. Similar to Ma'ruf Amin, Sandiaga Uno is not a person who has been widely discussed on candidate exchanges so far.

"However, Prabowo's decision was accepted by all of his supporting coalition parties, including Democrats, who previously really hoped that AHY could become Prabowo's Vice Presidential Candidate. Although several party cadres bearing the Mercy symbol had expressed their frustration, recently the party's support for Prabowo has not changed. Like Jokowi's camp, the decision was taken quickly and involved very few people, "explained Firman Noor in the book Political Party and Simultaneous Elections 2019: Candidation and Coalition (2021).

The heat of tension from the drama of the presidential election did not only come from the election of presidential and vice presidential candidates. Those who incidentally are individuals in the winning team of the two camps sometimes perpetuate their respective versions of the drama. Activist Ratna Sarumpaet, for example.

The figure who was part of Prabowo-Sandi's winning team had shocked the whole of Indonesia. He once perpetuated the narrative that he was abused by three unknown people. The persecution is claimed to have occurred near Husein Sastranegara Airport, Bandung, on September 21, 2018.

Ratna's face looked battered. Solidarity of the Prabowo-Sandi sedative team came. They condemned the action. Prabowo himself, especially. The act of persecution was considered heinous. Prabowo also called the case a serious threat to democracy.

Prabowo revealed this narrative because Ratna was counted as part of his camp. However, the persecution of RAnna actually caused pros and cons. Many are also not sure that Ratna is ganged up.

Many beauty experts have spoken up. Authorities try to perpetuate the investigation so that accusations do not lead to slander. Investigations are perpetuated. The results are as suspected by many people.

Ratna was not beaten, but out of plastic surgery. The plastic operation incident in Jakarta. Ratna is also considered to have spread false news that is considered aimed at attacking the next camp. As a form of responsibility, Ratna was finally arrested and sentenced to prison. The story is proof that the 2019 presidential election did not escape drama.

The electoral political motive behind Ratna's lies seemed clear. He claimed to have been persecuted by three unknown people near Husein Astranegara Airport, Bandung, on September 21. But Ratna's spearheaded was not a police officer, but friends from his politician and presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto. Kubu Prabowo then held a press conference that strongly condemned the persecution of Ratna.

The lie came to light after the police revealed the results of their investigation. Bonyok on the face of the theater artist turned out to be the effect of plastic surgery at a beauty clinic in Jakarta. Ratna herself finally admitted that this was the result of her being fired as a campaigner for the Prabowo-Sandiaga Uno pair. This embarrassing drama is still ongoing because the police continue to investigate the Ratna case," wrote Tempo Magazine's report entitled Hoaks Ratna Sarumpaet(2018).
