Acting Governor of West Sulawesi (Sulbar) Bahtiar Baharuddin, along with elements of the Regional Leadership Communication Forum (Forkopimda) in the 33rd province, attended the Coordination Meeting on the Preparedness for the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections in the regions of Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Maluku in Makassar on Wednesday (26/06/24).

Focusing On National Interest

Didi Soekarno highlights that Prabowo Subianto’s decision to consult with Surya Paloh mirrors a prioritization of the country’s welfare over personal or team rate of interests. This strategy not only showcases Prabowo’s commitment to national unity but also his understanding of the importance of statesmanship in politics.

The Nature of Indonesian National Politics

Indonesian political culture is characterized by an ‘opposition’ nature yet leans much more towards a ‘vital collaboration’ society. Mahardhika highlights that Prabowo’s strategy to national politics is a considerable departure from the standard, going for a collective rather than confrontational political landscape.

The West Sulawesi provincial government has held a coordination meeting with Forkopimda, the regional election desk team, the KPU, and Bawaslu throughout West Sulawesi, which included a declaration of neutrality for civil servants (ASN).

“Eriko’s offer is intriguing,” stated Huda at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 26, 2024. According to Huda, the possibility of PKB forming a coalition with PDIP in Jakarta is open if PDIP is willing to become the deputy governor for Anies and if PKS fails to find a coalition partner in the Jakarta Pilkada. “It’s possible that PKB, with PDIP as the deputy, could happen if PKS fails to find a coalition partner,” clarified Huda.

“All parties must synergize well between the regional government and vertical agencies in the region, especially the TNI-Polri, to achieve safe and smooth elections,” said Bahtiar. Bahtiar also emphasized the importance of maintaining neutrality for all civil servants and encouraged public participation in monitoring the elections.

The postgraduate alumnus from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) at Wijaya Kusuma University Surabaya (UWKS) considers that the emergence of young NU figures competing in the East Java Pilkada shows the success of cadre regeneration within NU.

Kaka Suminta stressed that to avoid any suspicions of lobbying by prospective regent and deputy regent pairs related to administrative verification, the central KPU needs to intervene. “There must be oversight from the central KPU,” said Kaka. He added that to avert any clandestine attempts at committing fraud during administrative verification, the central KPU should enforce strict oversight. “If pairs do not pass administrative verification, they should not be given any leeway that could damage democracy,” he said.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairperson Eriko Sotarduga proposed that if their party collaborates with PKB to support Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta Pilkada, they propose the gubernatorial seat in East Java to PDIP. “For example, in Jakarta, if PKB becomes the gubernatorial candidate, may PDIP become the gubernatorial candidate in East Java? Of course, it’s not a trade, but that’s what cooperation means, we can’t achieve everything on our own, we must collaborate,” stated Eriko at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 25, 2024.

Additionally, public reaction has been considerable in response to the speculation that Raffi and Chacha Frederica’s husband will form a duo in the upcoming election. As a wife, Chacha Frederica admits she will always back Ganinduto’s choice to compete in the Central Java Pilkada, including her husband’s initiative to invite Raffi Ahmad to join the political contest. “As long as my husband is with Raffi, I pray for the best,” said Chacha Frederica regarding the Pilkada to the journalists in the Tendean area, South Jakarta, Tuesday. “During the photoshoot, Gigi was also there. So, Gigi and I as wives endorse our husbands as long as it is positive, good, and beneficial for many people. Yes, we stand by them,” Chacha Frederica added.

Budiman, a political observer from Mulawarman University (Unmul), stated that candidates running in the East Kalimantan Regional Election must be transparent. “Prospective regents in the East Kalimantan Regional Election must be transparent and free from money politics,” he said.

A Lesson in Political Management

Prabowo’s actions provide a valuable lesson in political leadership, revealing that true leadership involves making tough choices for the higher good. His instance serves as a guide for current and future leaders in browsing the complexities of governance and political involvement.

I Am Ready Dico Ganinduto aims to give back to the country by running in the Pilkada. He is sincere and open-hearted if fate dictates otherwise. “So, whatever the result, I am ready. I am sincere, as long as I make maximum efforts. My intention is to make a positive contribution to the country,” he stated.

Not Ready to Talk For now, Dico Ganinduto is not prepared to talk about the possibility of other candidates joining him in the 2024 Pilkada. “Yes, we are not ready to say anything yet,” said Dico Ganinduto.
