JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV – The Dean of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) of Diponegoro University (Undip), Teguh Yuwono, believes that the two pairs of candidates for Governor-Vice Governor of Central Java have not yet fully mastered the field.
Teguh expressed that opinion in Kompas Petang chat, Compass TVFriday (8/11/2024).
The discussion discussed the plans of the General Chairman of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputr who plans to go down to the mountains to campaign for the Andika Perkasa-Hendrar Prihadi pair, and Ahmad Luthfi Taj Yasin Maimoen’s meeting with Jokowi.
Teguh answered the question of whether there was a crisis in the regional elections in Central Java so that Megawati had to go down from the mountain and Jokowi was involved.
“The crisis is because so far there are no candidates who have mastered the field,” he said.
“If Megawati does not resign, or if Jokowi does not resign, this 40 percent (floating vote) could be a wild vote. i guess ground combat“It’s at 40 percent,” he said.
He believes that the two pairs of candidates are currently in a position to fight for voters who are not yet loyal.
“So now, based on yesterday’s Kompas (R&D) survey, with 28.8 and 28.1, it was loyal voters who decided to vote from the beginning.
When he was asked if it was the duty of the big people involved in the victory to convince the voters on the float, Teguh replied that that was one of their duties.
“One of them is, because if the characters are not balanced, of course it’s like a fighter if the backup of the characters is not balanced, they actually have strategic issues to bring down the big figures.”
In the conversation, Teguh also said that in the past five to 10 years, Solo has become a benchmark for national politics.
“Of course Solo came most powerful which is a reference for many competing parties.”
“But really, if we look at the problem, Central Java is actually a benchmark for national politics, where Jokowi developed from Solo, starting from Solo,” he explained.
However, Pilkada 2024 Central Java is also a test of the victory of the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).
“It was the victory that was announced at the beginning public figure verification “The real test is whether yesterday’s presidential election had an impact on the regional elections in Java, especially Central Java and around Solo, Wonogiri, Sragen. So far the red power has been very big .”
“Of course the Megawati camp and the PDI Perjuangan camp do not want to lose momentum with the vote banks that have been national political markers for the PDI Perjuangan,” he said.
