While in the opposition strongholds, Probowo had taken a political stance by choosing Sandiaga Uno as his representative for leading Indonesia country in the 2019-2024 periode. Before each strongholds officially declares a candidate for vice president, there are a number of names that appear.
What is predicted will be promoted as vice president of both camps. However, the signal ahead of the registration of presidential and vice presidential candidates is assumed that Prof. Dr. Mahfud MD will be invited by Jokowi as his representative, apparently wrong. Finally yesterday, Pak Jokowi officially declared Ustadz Ma'ruf Amin as his representative.
Likewise with the Probowo camp, a signal was raised that Ustadz Abdul Somad, Lc, MA would accompany Prabowo, but in reality, Prabowo chose and decided Sandiaga Uno as his representative. Indeed, in the world of politics, there is no such thing as "Price Dead". That can all change.
Indeed, towards the end of the registration period, the political situation in Indonesia seem very dynamic. Various meetings were held by political party officials and it continued to be held, to lobby before deciding on the name of the presidential candidate and his deputy.
In the presidential contest this time all parties took part in the success of the presidential and vice presidential elections with the aim of making changes to a better direction.
Various ways and strategies are carried out to build coalitions and get presidential and vice presidential candidates, including from the Ulame so that they hold an ijtima '(meeting) to discuss who will be the candidate as Prabowo's representative, even though in the end recommendations about candidates are proposed and championed by ulama are not superior due to certain factors in determining political attitudes and meeting points between coalition parties (supporting parties).
Conditions, situations and political dynamics in Indonesia this year are really complicated. I as an Indonesian people, see and read and continue to observe political developments this year, so why Jokowi chose vice presidential candidate KH. Ma'ruf Amin, even though by age Ma'ruf Amin is old, his age is now over 70 years. If there is no other purpose and purpose, it is highly unlikely that Jokowi chose Ma'ruf Amin as his representative in the presidential election this year. After 5 years of this period, if Jokowi won the presidential contest this time and was re-elected as president, then at the next meeting he could no longer run for president. Capability Mr. Mahfud MD is more feasible and suitable and deserves the position of vice president. Well, my question "For what reason did Jokowi choose Ma'ruf Amin as president representative.
Of course, every political party has short-term and long-term goals. PDIP's long-term goal is the daughter of PDIP Party Chairperson, Puan Maharani who will be championed as a future presidential candidate. If Prof. Dr. Mahfud MD who was chosen and declared as his representative Jokowi in this year, it is feared that Puan Maharani is difficult to get a position as a presidential candidate in the coming year.
Therefore, the bearer party Jokowi chose KH. Ma'ruf Amin as president, because when viewed from age, it might be possible to say that human age is generally 65 years, and now KH. Ma'ruf Amin is already 71 years old, this has exceeded human life in general, meaning that in the next few years he has the possibility of dying the world. In this case I do not deny that there were no deaths at a young age.
That is politics, to get any power and position will be done. I can only hope that anyone will lead Indonesia country in 2019-2014 has a vision and mission to prosper the people and prosper this country. So that all problems that occur today can be resolved properly.
Meanwhile, Jokowi, who was an incumbent, was supported by a large PDIP, Golkar, NasDem, PPP, PKB, Hanura. But so far Jokowi has determined political attitudes to choose KH. Ma'ruf Amin was his representative and was approved by coalition parties.
Both sides are trying to win this presidential competition, this victory cannot be separated from the voice of the people, where Indonesia is a unitary state with a democratic system that means leaders from the people by the people and for the people. Both sides must be able to take and steal people's hearts. From the survey results, even the coffee keude survey so far has been difficult to win if the representative is not from the ulema. Therefore Jokowi was paired with candidates from the ulama, That's the right attitude I think but unfortunately, the candidate was very old.
We all, of course, hope that whoever leads Indonesia in the future, Indonesia to be better anymore and the people will prosper.
