Arif Nurul Imam, a political expert, said one of the factors was undoubtedly the Constitutional Court’s decision to reduce it. limit or the minimum number of nominations. Because, like the People’s Democratic Party and many other parties, they can nominate their own candidates.

Meanwhile, according to Arif, for example, the election of the governor of Jakarta did not take place like the one in Banten. Moreover, the person who was promoted was Ridvon Kamil. In addition to the domestic political factors with which.

Arif also said that the political situation is not the same in the regional elections and the presidential elections. What Kim wants by forming a coalition from the presidential elections to the regional elections is a spirit of solidarity.
Although it will not be the same in different regions. There are certain situations in these regions that make it impossible for the KIM to unite in the current regional elections.
“It should not be appropriate in the local political context. For example, in several regional elections, KIM was not always united,” he said.
“In terms of local politics, it depends on local political dynamics. Therefore, local politics should not be aligned with national politics.”
