TRIBUNNEWS.COM, JAKART – Gerindra politician Arief Poyuono predicts these two names will not become presidential candidates (Capres) in 2024.
The two people are DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan and Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo.
It is feared that both of them will lose their prestige in 2022 as the positions of the two regional heads end.
Arief assessed that Anies and Ganjar are currently following the steps of Joko Widodo, who attracted public sympathy through imaging in the mass media when they were governors of DKI Jakarta until they became presidential candidates in the 2014 presidential election.
He predicts that the factor of public office and the spotlight of the mass media will still be one of the determining factors for the 2024 presidential election candidate.
However, Anies and Ganjar’s tenure as governors ends before 2024 so they will lose popularity.
Therefore, he predicts Anies and Ganjar will not be presidential candidates in the 2024 presidential election.
“These two figures will run out of batteries in 2022, Ganjar and Anies. Like it or not, believe it or not, Jokowi is the result of ‘The Power of Media’. The ability of this media is how to lift a Jokowi at that time into a character. Well, These two figures have run out of batteries, there is no more space for imaging,” he said at the Total Politics event in Cikini, Central Jakarta, Sunday (12/5/2021).
Furthermore, Arief admitted that he had not yet found a figure who would embrace the Indonesian people.
