REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The All-Indonesian Student Executive Board (BEM SI) will hold further demonstrations to reject dynastic politics. This was in response to the political party's decision to nominate the Mayor of Solo who is also the eldest son of Indonesian President Joko Widodo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, as Prabowo Subianto's vice presidential candidate.


BEM SI Central Coordinator Hilmi Ash Shidiqi admitted that he was disappointed with the Golkar Party which carried Gibran's name to run as Prabowo's vice presidential candidate on Saturday (21/10/2023).

Moreover, this happened after thousands of students from BEM SI had just carried out a demonstration in the Horse Statue area, Central Jakarta, Friday (20/10/2023). One of his demands was to reject dynastic politics. "However, now we see that yesterday we spoke out loud, now H+1 after voicing it turns out that what we voiced was just a warning that was ignored by the political players. Of course we will continue to voice this loudly. We reject all efforts by political dynasties which are being built and want to be built," said Hilmi when contacted by Republika.co.id, Saturday (21/10/2023).

Hilmi emphasized that his party does not want dynastic politics in Indonesia. So that the students who are members of the student executive body together with the community will continue to voice their rejection, including holding further demonstrations. "We will consolidate further (follow-up demonstrations)," he stressed. Previously, the Golkar Party officially nominated Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming as Prabowo Subianto's running mate.

This official position was announced at the National Leadership Meeting (Rapimnas) of the Golkar Party at the party headquarters with the banyan tree logo, Palmerah, West Jakarta, Saturday (21/10/2023). In the National Rapimnas which was also attended by Prabowo, the General Chair of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartarto, said that his party had discussed it carefully and prioritized greater interests in determining the vice presidential candidate. He also had a meeting with all the Golkar Party DPD chairs on Friday (20/10/2023) evening.

BEM SI = University Students Executive Body Union is very respected. During 1997-1998 period, only BEM SI who do the demonstrations against Soeharto regime. It is started from university students in Gajah Mada University, then all University Students Executive Body get united and joining force to kick out Soeharto from power.

Basically no anti Soeharto demonstration is ever conducted by wider public, what public do was supporting the university students in heart, so when several university students were shot dead in Trisakti University, all Indonesian main cities were in chaos, particularly Jakarta. This then followed by Golkar party leaders decision to leave Soeharto cabinet and including Golkar party members in parliament to support the students.

When Soeharto thinks he no longer supported by Golkar elites which dominate ministers and parliament during Soeharto regime, Soeharto then resigned. Under Jokowi administration, Golkar is Jokowi main supporters and key ministers are 70 % hold by Golkar.

Jakarta -Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka visited the residence of PBB Chairman Yusril Ihza Mahendra. The party said that they officially support Gibran to become Prabowo Subianto's vice presidential candidate.

Based on photos received by detikcom, Saturday (21/10/2023), the ranks of PBB administrators were seen with Gibran in the same room as Yusril.

The meeting was held at 16.00-17.10 WIB. The visit was carried out after Gibran attended the Golkar Party's national meeting.

"Today Mas Gibran came to Pak Yusril's residence to stay in touch, we from the DPP accompanied him, he met with Pak Yusril," said PBB Secretary General Afriansyah Noor when confirmed.

GOLKAR, PBB, Gelora, PAN support Gibran (Prabowo coalition). Tomorrow will be the declaration. We need to wait...... (These are Jokowi main parties backer in cabinet)

Several days ago, Prabowo party leading member, also show indication that they will support Gibran

Prabowo statement after GOLKAR support Gibran

 
.
Prabowo met with Gibran several months ago, now Prabowo needs to be consisten with his previous own effort to get Gibran as his VP which is basically intended to get support from Jokowi.

If Prabowo doesnt chose Gibran, Jokowi will likely endorse Ganjar, and this is something Prabowo wants to avoid. By making Jokowi neutral, Prabowo already gets the benefit

President supported parties like Golkar and PAN will also follow Jokowi lead. These parties can leave the coalition as well...The only respected leader for these parties is Jokowi, not Prabowo.....

During 2022 and early 2023, Jokowi had supported Ganjar already, even he endorsed Ganjar to Megawati, PDI-P leader, and said to the media bluntly that the man with grey hair is the best candidate for next Presidential election, so very likely it is Prabowo own attempt to make Jokowi suddently become neutral like Today....

So Prabowo has limited option, Ganjar under Jokowi support can be very deathly for Prabowo...There are still around 8 months before second round of Presidential election....and Jokowi can present in Ganjar campaign under our law. Any way, Jokowi party is PDI-P which is the main backer of Ganjar camp

These are brains inside Ganjar- Mahfud team

Arsyad Rasyid, Indika Energy President Director. He is the chairmant of Ganjar-Mahfud winning team for Presidency, he will likely become Minister in economic sector if Ganjar wins election. He is Sumatran from Palembang Province.

He has made an article in Euronews recently, we can see some insight about what is inside the Ganjar strategy from him



For defense related is Andika Perkasa, he is former Armed Force Commander. He is Deputy Chairman of Ganjar-Mahfud team. Expected him to be Defense Minister or Security Minister if Ganjar is elected as next President. He is Javanese.

Some thing that I see from Andika desk is that he put KF21/IFX model in his desk, so he is likely firm supporter of the program. Like many nationalist Indonesians, he is likely very proud on the program that he put KF21/IFX plane model on top of his desk when he was still in Armed Forced.

Second, he is the believer of drone effectiveness on war, so expected indigenous MALE program, Elang Hitam, get huge support from him. Under Ganjar team mission, Ganjar stressing more on local defense industry advancement as well. Andika is also criticizing Prabowo defense equipment acquisition..........

I agree. Previously, I like Prabowo and Gibran. But after this event, Gibran's name is no longer in my mind as a good political leader in our country.
Gibran is still a good young leader, but he should have stayed as Solo Major and then he can try to compete for Central Java Governor after he lead at least another 6 years as Major of Solo where during that time he will be 43 years old. Next Central Java election is in October 2024, he could try to compete in 2029 election for Central Java Governor position.

Regardless of that, Breaking News told that Gibran is now officialy a VP for Prabowo Presidency candidacy.
