Beginning in 2019, the Prabowo-Sandi pair along with the team of 02 strongholds again made lies to the public in order to overthrow the Indonesian Government, especially the name Joko Widodo. Starting from Prabowo who disturbed the RSCM hose issue, Sandi lied about the construction of the Cipali Toll Road, until Andi Arief who claimed the discovery of a container containing ballots had been punched. Produce a nickname that is implied to be an ‘Lie Award’ award by the Indonesian Solidarity Party.
Responding to the lie that was often brought up by the 02 faction to the public, political observer Boni Hargens once said that if Prabowo-Sandiaga was elected then the possibility of Prabowo-Sandiaga would only give birth to a government that spoke experts rather than experts working. Yes, just looking at the beginning of the campaign period, it was like that, talking a lot, lying a lot, what if you were the leader of the country. They tend to seek political support on the basis of concern, anxiety, anxiety and hatred of political opponents.
The stronghold 02 was very strong in rhetoric during campaigning. The pair carried by the Indonesia Adil Makmur coalition succeeded in building people’s perceptions quickly and tearing apart the collective emotions of the community. Prabowo always casts pessimism on the public like Indonesia broke up in 2030 and Indonesia will become extinct. His emotional style in leading and always making a negative approach campaign reminded us of Hitler’s figure. Prabowo is strongly indicated that he will recycle the New Order in different variants.
The leadership that was born if Prabowo-Sandiaga won was leadership that looked good from the outside but failed miserably inside. This is very different from Jokowi-Ma’ruf Amin if elected because his government will be transformative and performance-oriented. The statement is based on the campaign strategy, in which faction 01 uses a positive campaign strategy, and stronghold 02 tends to use a negative campaign strategy. In the cultural dimension, if Jokowi is elected there will be no clash with the authenticity of national culture and local culture. However, if Prabowo is elected, he will be able to abstract local and national cultures so that he cannot survive the large flow of global culture.
With the negative campaign and the many lies carried out by faction 02 to bring down political opponents, not a few Indonesian people are worried if Prabowo Sandi is elected. Moreover, behind them there are illegal HTI organizations and radical Islamic groups and support from the sandalwood family. Imagine if both of them joined, between the new order and the pro-khilafah, Indonesia would be like what.
Jokowi-Ma’ruf during his campaign was more pressing on the aspect of work. Jokowi-Maruf Leadership is a work-oriented transformative leadership to create change and transformation in all aspects. Campaign strategies that use a positive campaign approach reflect Jokowi’s government later
built on optimism and has the potential to bring Indonesia to a higher level of progress, both at the regional and world level.
In addition, the campaign issue raised by the Jokowi-Mauf pair formed the character of serving leadership or servant leadership. Then, the party supporting Jokowi is a nationalist party that carries a discourse or national political narrative oriented to the development of social integration on the basis of four pillars, namely Pancasila, NKRI, the 1945 Constitution, and Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. This will form nationalist and inclusive leadership.
