The Indonesian Presidential Election

 “The Indonesian Presidential Election”

The 2024 Indonesian Presidential General Election, also called the 2024 Presidential Election, is the fifth general election in Indonesia which aims to elect the President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia. The election was held to determine the positions of president and vice president for the 2024–2029 term. This election will take place simultaneously in all regions of Indonesia on Wednesday, February 14 2024. This election is a political contestation to elect a new president to replace Joko Widodo, who has retired from office after serving two terms as president and cannot run again based on the constitution. Since 2014, the presidential election has been dominated by two candidates, a presidential candidate and a vice presidential candidate. They are Prabowo Subianto–Hatta Rajasa who are supported by parties supporting the government of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Joko Widodo–Jusuf Kalla, the majority of whom are supported by the opposition.[6] Repeating the same victory, Jokowi, who was Prabowo's rival in 2014 and 2019, won the presidential election again by winning 55.5% of the vote.[7] However, this is different from the 2004 and 2009 Presidential Elections where more than two candidates participated. In 2004, the presidential election was attended by five candidates in the first round with various backgrounds, including military, civilian, ulama and former president and former vice president.[8] Meanwhile in 2009, three candidates participated in the presidential election, one of which was the incumbent Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.[9]

The President of Indonesia is elected directly by the people through general elections every five years. According to the constitution, as stated in Article 7 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, incumbent President Joko Widodo and former President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono cannot participate in political contestation in the presidential election in 2024. Therefore, Indonesia is holding general elections simultaneously to elect executive and legislative for the 2024–2029 term. The presidential election should be held before the country's leadership transition on October 20 2024.

The general election period for the President and Vice President is regulated in Article 6A and Article 22E of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The general election for the President and Vice President is carried out in two rounds if in the first round no candidate pair obtains more than 50% of the vote. at least 20% of the votes spread across more than half of the provinces in Indonesia. Until now, the two-round general election for President and Vice President has only occurred in the 2004 General Election for President and Vice President.

In contrast to the previous general election, Prabowo Subianto's image is known to be firm and expressive as a reflection of his previous profession as a soldier. In 2019, Prabowo became the opposition to the incumbent government led by Joko Widodo. In each campaign, he always criticized the policies launched by Jokowi.[58] Likewise, in his oration Prabowo showed his firm stance in positioning himself as part of the opposition to Jokowi.[59] After that, Prabowo appeared more cooperative and tended to side with Jokowi's government, considering him as Minister of Defense in the cabinet and making Jokowi's son and Mayor of Surakarta, Gibran, his deputy.[60] In 2024, they are carrying out a vision that is sustainable with Jokowi's ideas, including continuing planning for the Archipelago Capital as one of the national strategic projects. In his campaign, Prabowo often came up with programs to distribute food and milk to students.[61] Apart from that, the phenomenon of "gemoy" has become a new term for Prabowo's identity.

For the vice presidential candidate debate, the public speculated that the debate was canceled by the KPU, resulting in misunderstandings among the public.[88][89] Previously, a debate for the vice presidential candidate was held, where the debate participants were Ma'ruf Amin and Sandiaga Uno. However, the KPU denied that there would be no debate for vice presidential candidates, instead it would present pairs of candidates in the debate contest, but the participants would be between presidential candidates, between vice presidential candidates, and between pairs of candidates.[90][91] So, the debates participated in by the vice presidential candidates will still be held in the second and fourth debates. The second debate covers the economy and infrastructure development, especially the development of the Indonesian IKN.[92] Debate participants are candidate number 1, Muhaimin Iskandar; candidate number 2, Gibran Rakabuming Raka; candidate number 3, Mahfud MD.

MyBlog :Lalacantiksedunia

 I am Laelatus Sa'diyah, I am a student, I study English education at an Indonesian university.

This is my first blog, I created this blog because a lecturer gave me an assignment related to blogs. and this assignment must be submitted as soon as possible because otherwise there will be no value for me, actually I am a lazy person but we have to write up to 500 words, I don't like writing, I don't like reading, I like eating and traveling. I often hear news about things -I really like traveling things, even though I don't like writing and reading, I respect writers because their writing can be entertaining and even provide very important information.

So what is the real reason I created a blog? Why do people who are lazy about doing something bother with something they don't like? Is it because I want to change myself to be better? or is it just an assignment given by the lecturer? actually I don't like avoiding things that I don't like. and the real reason I do this is because I am a lazy person, I was forced to write all this. Then to make writing easier I have read article about blogs. Even so, I still don't have an idea so I try to write without thinking so that at least my head can last longer. 

So what is a blog? In my opinion, a blog is a website or online platform that contains articles containing various information, photos or videos, which are always updated regularly. There are several types of blogs, namely: personal blogs, niche blogs, news blogs and several types. other.

The type of blog that I create is a personal blog. Personal blogs are a type of blog created and managed by individuals as a means of expressing their own personal thoughts, experiences and opinions. These blogs often discuss various topics, ranging from hobbies and interests as well as life experiences and personal reflections. The reason I chose to create a personal blog, so now I don't know what to write about, so I thought about writing the reason I created this blog.

because this is the first blog that I have created, there are definitely a lot of mistakes in writing, whether it's punctuation errors or other mistakes. That's probably because I rarely write, so there are some basic mistakes in writing. Actually, I've often been taught the following writing rules. That's what it's been like since I was in elementary school, but I didn't really note down what I was taught and just forgot about it.

I planned to write approximately only 500 words, but it seems like I can't take it anymore. My hands are sore, my head is dizzy, my eyes are sore. And I want to stop writing this blog because I'm working on this blog late at night. night until almost morning I was very tired. And I wanted to rest and sleep immediately, I was too lazy to write, let alone, I will end writing this right now.

 

Thank you to those of you who have read my writing which is unclear and not connected, I want to thank myself, because I have tried to give my best in this writing. And I also want to thank my beloved lecturer for giving me this assignment. very special to his students, I hope you are always healthy.
