E-PAPER PERPUSTAKAAN DPR-RI http://epaper.dpr.go.id Judul : Penantang Ahok Ditentukan Besok Tanggal : Rabu, 21 September 2016 Surat Kabar : Koran Tempo Halaman : 1 GAYA OPINI EDITORIAL IPTEK METRO EKBIS INTERNASIONAL NASIONAL OLAHRAGA DIGITAL LAPORAN UTAMA PERISTIWA JATENG JAKARTA - Rapat Koalisi Kekeluargaan di restoran Aljazeerah, Jakarta Timur, tadi malam, belum membuahkan hasil. Partai Demokrat, Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa, Partai Gerindra, Partai Persatuan Pembangunan, dan Partai Amanat Nasional belum memutuskan calon gubernur yang akan menantang Basuki Tjahaja Purnama-Djarot Syaiful Hidayat. Gerindra berkukuh tetap memasang Sandiaga Uno sebagai calon gubernur. Nama mantan Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Anies Baswedan sempat mencuat, tapi mental dalam pembahasan. "Kami sodorkan nama Sandiaga untuk diputuskan DPP setiap partai pada hari Kamis untuk didaftarkan pada hari Jumat," kata Ketua Gerindra Jakarta Muhammad Taufik semalam. Menurut Taufik, nama Anies dan Yusril memang sempat dibahas, tapi tak jadi diputuskan karena keduanya hanya muncul dalam survei-survei oleh lembaga peneliti politik. Gerindra, kata Taufik, juga tetap menyodorkan empat nama untuk mendampingi Sandiaga: Sekretaris Daerah Saefullah, Deputi Gubernur Sylviana Murni, kader Partai Keadilan Sejahtera Mardani Ali Sera, dan Ketua Demokrat Jakarta Nachrowi Ramli. Setelah DPP setiap partai memutuskan, Koalisi Kekeluargaan akan mendaftarkan nama calon gubernur dan wakilnya ke Komisi Pemilihan Umum Daerah Jakarta pada Jumat. Dengan konstelasi politik ini, Wakil Sekretaris Jenderal Partai Persatuan Pembangunan Syahril Wasahua memprediksi hanya akan ada dua pasangan yang bertarung dalam pemilihan kepala daerah 2017. Jika hanya ada dua pasangan, pemilihan dipastikan hanya berlangsung satu putaran. Partai Keadilan Sejahtera, yang tak ikut dalam pertemuan Aljazeerah, tetap menyodorkan Sandiaga-Mardani. Kemunculan Mardani membuat PPP, PKB, Demokrat, dan PAN berniat pisah dan membentuk poros baru. Nama Anies Baswedan kemudian mencuat karena lembaga survei Poltracking menempatkan Anies-Sandiaga unggul dibanding Ahok-Djarot. Sekretaris Jenderal Partai Persatuan Pembangunan Arsul Sani mengatakan partainya masih membahas nama Sandiaga dalam rapat yang bakal diadakan hari ini. Nama Sandiaga juga disimulasikan sebagai calon wakil gubernur mendampingi Anies Baswedan. "Semua kami coba simulasikan dan kami lihat keunggulan dari simulasi itu," ucapnya. Selain soal Anies, rapat akan membahas kemungkinan mengusung mantan Menteri Sekretaris Negara Yusril Ihza Mahendra. Namun, menurut Arsul, Anies punya poin lebih dibanding Sandiaga dan Yusril dari segi pencitraan. Anies tak pernah tersangkut masalah hukum dibanding Sandiaga, yang pernah disebut dalam Panama Papers. "Ini menjadi poin plus Anies. Tidak pernah diterpa gosip-gosip," kata Arsul. Poin lebih Sandiaga ada pada segi finansial. Urusan kocek ini merupakan salah satu kriteria yang menjadi penilaian dalam menentukan pasangan. "Finansial juga jadi kriteria karena biaya kampanye tak sedikit," ujar Arsul. Sandiaga tak menolak atau menyetujui jika dijadikan pendamping Anies. "Apa pun keputusannya, kami hormati sebagai keputusan kolektif," tuturnya, kemarin. DEVY ERNIS | FRISKI RIANA | ERWAN HERMAWAN.

RAJARATNAM SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES SINGAPORE 21 NOVEMBER 2019 Abstract This paper examines the Prosperous and Justice Party (PKS)’s strategy in the 2019 Indonesian general elections. Among the Islamic-based political parties, PKS gained the most significant increase in votes. We aspire to understand the breakthrough by looking at the party’s strategy. On the one hand, our findings confirm the existing studies that correctly noted the moving of Indonesian political parties towards a “catch-all” direction by which they aim to garner wider support beyond a specific type of voter base. On the other hand, our research notes that PKS has started to exploit the phenomenon of rising Islamic conservatism in Indonesia. Despite solely maintaining an inclusive electoral strategy, this research asserts that the party has adjusted its campaign strategy to fit in with the trend of rising Islamic conservatism while concurrently exploiting the anti-incumbent president (Joko Widodo) sentiment. This paper aims to enhance discussion on Indonesian politics as well as Indonesia’s political parties, particularly the PKS.

This election clearly used religious and ethnic populism strategy that divided Jakarta citizens into two groups: A Muslim Governor’s supporters Vs. Incumbent`s supporters. The root of the Muslim governor’s supporters was the rejection of some Islamic organizations against the rise of Chinese-Christian Incumbent Governor – Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or “Ahok”. This sentiment found a momentum when Ahok was accused of blasphemy against Islam that provoked Muslims furious. Moreover, Anies Baswedan became a successful candidate utilizing the sentiments and used mosques to echo the resistance against non- muslim Governor candidate. Keywords: Blasphemy, Democracy, Jakarta Gubernatorial election, Populism Introduction "In the past, we pribumi (a term that Sandiaga Uno were the victories of the could be loosely defined as “native Native Muslims against others.

Sandiaga Uno Di Partai Gerindra Dan Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) Dalam Pilgub DKI Jakarta Tahun 2017
Rekrutmen Politik dalam Proses Penentuan Keputusan Pencalonan Anis Baswedan – Sandiaga Uno di Partai Gerindra dan Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) dalam Pilgub DKI Jakarta Tahun 2017 Rofiqi Alumnus Pascasarjana Universitas Indonesia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This research is drawn upon Anies Baswedan candidacy for Jakarta gubernatorial election which was supported by Gerinda and PKS even though he was a Jokowi proponent back in the 2014 presidential election. Despite the contradiction, Anies Baswedan was still appointed in the Jakarta gubernatorial candidacy. This research will be focusing on how the process of political recruitment behind Anies Baswedan- Sandiaga Uno’s appointment was conducted. Using political recruitment theory by Rush and Althoff, and elite theory by Nazaruddin Syamsuddin and Mosca, this research argues that their candidacy was done enclosed. Which mean, they did not get to deal with an internal selection of Gerinda, nor the wide selection (pemira) by PKS. Therefore, this research suggests that the Anies-Sandi gubernatorial candidacy was arranged by the elite trio: Jusuf Kalla, Prabowo Subianto and Shohibul Iman. Keywords: Anies Baswedan, Sandiaga Uno, Political Elite, Jakarta Gubernatorial Election 2017. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh pengusungan Anis Baswedan sebagai Calon Gubernur DKI Jakarta oleh Partai Gerindra dan Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS). Padahal, Anis Baswedan merupakan pendukung Jokowi yang merupakan lawan politik Prabowo Subianto dalam pilpres tahun 2014. Karena itulah, perlu untuk dikaji mengenai rekrutmen politik terhadap Anis Baswedan - Sandiaga Uno sebagai Cagub - Cawagub DKI Jakarta pada pilgub DKI Jakarta tahun 2017. Teori yang digunakan untuk menganalisis dan menjawab permasalahan penelitian ini ada teori rekrutmen politik yang dikemukakan oleh Rush dan Althoff.

In Search of Hegemony: Islamism and the State in Indonesia
In Search of Hegemony: Islamism and the State in Indonesia LUQMAN NUL HAKIM This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Melbourne February 2019 Declaration I certify that this thesis is the product of my own research, fewer than the maximum word limit in length, and contains no material which has been accepted as part of the requirements of any other degree at any tertiary education institution, or any material previously published by another person except where due reference is made. Luqman Nul Hakim i Abstract In post-authoritarian Indonesia, but particularly following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Islamism has become a contentious matter of scholarly debate. The prominent accounts emerging from security and democratisation studies place much analytical weight on ideology and culture by often portraying the relationship between Islam and politics in essentialist fashion, associating the dynamics of Islamism with interpretations of Islamic doctrine or the contest between moderate and radical Muslims. The institutionalist literature, on the contrary, explains the rise of Islamism as the result of the weak capacity of the state following the fall of the centralised New Order authoritarian regime. Another variant draws attention to the moderation of Islamic politics as the result of participation in democratic processes, especially electoral politics. Yet, such linear and teleological explanations obscure the complex circumstances that establish the different trajectories of Islamism. They also fail to comprehend how the prevalence of Islamist discourse on power struggles in the current democracy can produce a more conservative and illiberal form of Islamism. In contrast, this thesis utilises the politics of hegemony approach as developed in the traditions of political discourse theory.

Indonesian Presidential Election 2019 The Coming Divisive Contest: Jokowi vs. Prabowo By Emirza Adi Syailendra Synopsis Indonesian politicians are preparing for the 2019 presidential and legislative elections. A high barrier to entry has shaped the coming presidential election into a two-horse race. As the two separate elections will be held on the same day, this has affected the way each party is approaching coalition building. Commentary THE 2019 presidential election in Indonesia is approaching, scheduled for 17 April next year, and political parties or political coalitions have to register their preferred pair of candidates to the General Election Committee between 4 and 10 August 2018. Only those with 20 percent of parliamentary seats or 25 percent of popular votes can nominate a pair of candidates. This high barrier to entry for the presidential race has forced the smaller parties to gravitate towards either the incumbent, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) or Prabowo Subianto – seemingly Jokowi’s one and only potential opponent in Indonesia’s coming presidential election. A Fraught Coalition The coming race is not only a presidential but also a legislative contest taking place at the same time.

Political Risk Alert (25 April 2019)
Political Risk Alert (25 April 2019) Indonesia: Election outcome should reassure investors Event: On April 22, the General Elections Commission (KPU) reported that President Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo had won 54.9% of the 14.5% of ballots so far countered, with his challenger Prabowo Subianto winning 45.1%. Significance: Although the final official result is not due until May 22, it appears that the president has retained power and that parties currently aligned with Jokowi’s government will retain a majority in the country’s legislature, the People’s Representative Council (DPR). Although Prabowo has moved quickly to declare himself the winner based on exit polling by his own team and could yet stage protests when Jokowi’s victory is declared, there is not expected to be a significant level of post-election disruption. There should be little change in government policy as a result of the election. Analysis: On April 17, for the first time in Indonesia, the whole country voted in a single day for a president and vice-president as well as legislative bodies at national, provincial and local levels. Turnout was estimated at around 84%, from 70% in the 2014 presidential election. This suggests that a "no vote" campaign designed to reduce support for Jokowi was largely unsuccessful. The final result is due on May 22. By the day after the election, the quick counts by Indonesia's largest polling and media companies showed Jokowi and his running mate Ma'ruf Amin winning around 54% of the popular vote, defeating the challenge of the Prabowo-Sandiaga Uno ticket.
