TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – The Executive Director of Trias Politica Strategis Agung Baskoro highlighted the absence of President Joko Widodo or Jokowialong with congratulations from the President, on the occasion of the NasDem party’s birthday on Friday, November 11, 2022. This event is seen as a signal that the relationship between Jokowi and NasDem is at an all-time low and has three effects.

“On the institutional level, the possibility of a reshuffle of Nasdem ministers has surfaced,” he said in a written statement, Saturday, November 12, 2022.

The second effect, Agung mentions the possibility of the axis of change initiated by NasDemName with the PKS and the democrats, the Indonesian Coalition for Change (KPI) is growing stronger. NasDem has declared Anies as its presidential candidate.

For that, Agung said, the next task is to find someone who can increase votes and be able to lead so that this coalition does not wither away before it grows. But if there is a lobby to dissolve that coalition, he said, it’s possible the pair of presidential candidates will come from just two camps.

The two are the New Indonesia Coalition created by Golkar, PAN and PPP, and the Greater Indonesia Coalition by Gerindra and PKB. The two coalitions have also not announced their presidential candidate. The third effect, Agung said, is that the public must be prepared to enter the political year with a two- or more-axis coalition scheme.

Jokowi’s support for a number of personalities

Furthermore, Agung also compared Jokowi’s absence at NasDem’s birthday with his presence at the previous party’s anniversary. On Golkar’s anniversary, Jokowi felt that Golkar’s General Chairman, Airlangga Hartarto deserved to be a presidential candidate. On Perindo’s birthday, it was the turn of Gerindra’s General President, Prabowo, who was deemed worthy.

Meanwhile, NasDem party chairman Surya Paloh also briefly mentioned Jokowi’s support for a certain name for 2024. Surya also compared him to Anies, who was promoted by his party.

“We are waiting, when will he be handed over to Bung Anies. What does this mean? I must remind you that the president is not only in the capacity of the head of government, but the president is also the head of the state,” Surya said. .

Surya said Jokowi’s attitude of supporting Prabowo showed that the presidency belongs to all groups and groups. This is considered important, because according to Surya, Indonesia is currently experiencing political inflation but a statesmanship deficit.

When asked if NasDem was jealous of Jokowi’s endorsement of Prabowo, Surya denied it. “Ah, it was in primary school that we were taught manners, don’t be jealous,” Surya said.

This signal of Jokowi’s support for Prabowo was already apparent when the two men attended the 8th anniversary of the Perindo party on Monday, November 7, 2022. In his speech, Jokowi mentioned his victory in the presidential elections of 2014 and 2019.” said Jokowi followed by a smile.

The Perindo executives who were present at the event appeared to be laughing and clapping. They looked even more excited when Prabowo stood up and saluted.

Prabowo was Jokowi’s rival in the 2014 presidential election. At that time, he was paired with Hatta Rajasa and defeated by Jokowi who was paired with Jusuf Kalla. Then in the 2019 presidential election, Prabowo ran again and partnered with Sandiaga Uno but was again defeated by Jokowi who was partnered with Ma’ruf Amin.

“Excuse me sir Prabowo. It seems like after that part of Pak Prabowo,” Jokowi said, followed by applause.
