Delegitimizing Illegitimate Elections: Rhetoric and Reality
Summary
- In reality, not all of the public is frustrated with the poor quality of the 2024 election. Those still feel dissatisfied and frustrated are usually called strategic groups: the middle class, educated people, civil society organizations, and political elites dissatisfied with the election results.
- Currently, there is unity of intention, but there are different goals. Some want to maintain constituent aspirations, some want to delegitimize the election, and some want to cancel Gibran's candidacy.
- If a second reshuffle occurs, the new faces that emerge will provide an idea of who will fill the new government cabinet after Prabowo is inaugurated because Jokowi also intends the next reshuffle to strengthen the coalition for the incoming government.
