Prabowo and SBY Meetings Assessed Strengthen the Winning Strategy

Fakta Id. The meeting of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) and Prabowo Subianto was considered to strengthen the strategy of winning candidate pair president and vice president number 02, Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, in the 2019 presidential election.

Arya Fernandes, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) researcher, said that the meeting of top Democrats and Gerindra parties could end the assumption of a half-hearted coalition of Prabowo-Sandiaga supporters. "This ended the deadlock that emerged from the start, from nomination to the preparation of a successful team," Arya said in Jakarta on Sunday, December 23, 2018.

According to him, the meeting would have more impact if the two parties succeeded in finding a new format for Prabowo's victory. "After this there is no clear pattern and campaign format, this meeting will not have an impact," he said. He suggested that a number of Democrat Party officials, such as SBY and his son, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, get a stage in the Prabowo-Sandiaga National Winning Body.

Although the electoral impact on Prabowo's victory has not been measured, Arya said that the meeting between Yudhoyono and Prabowo began to erode the perceived political grayness of the Democratic Party. "This relieves the mass of the grassroots of his party," he said. The Gerindra Party will be more free to use and convince the Democratic Party's voting base in a number of regions.

Meanwhile, Director of Research and Consulting Voxpol Center, Pangi Syarwi Chaniago, said the second meeting of the party's leaders would have a positive impact on Prabowo's electability. According to him, Prabowo could use Yudhoyono's political experience to win the presidential election. "SBY certainly has the experience to gain votes, how to land and air power, and how to take and win the hearts of the people," he said.

Yudhoyono again met Prabowo, at his house in the Mega Kuningan area, South Jakarta, on Friday, December 21, 2018. Their meeting was the first time after the Democratic Party Chairperson expressed support for Prabowo in the presidential election.

After the meeting, Yudhoyono said his party was using a double track strategy in the election: winning the legislative elections and succeeding the Prabowo-Sandiaga pair in the presidential election. He claimed to have compiled a time to harmonize the two. "We have a plan and we have a strategy," he said.

Prabowo said he had never doubted Yudhoyono's commitment to politics. He argued that Yudhoyono had his own count and strategy for winning elections. "I have never doubted Pak SBY's commitment," Prabowo said.

Meanwhile, vice presidential candidate number 01, Ma'ruf Amin, did not say much about the meeting between Yudhoyono and Prabowo. According to him, the meeting was reasonable because the two parties were in coalition. "Naturally, if they hold a meeting, it is not a threat to us," Ma'ruf said on the sidelines of a visit at the El Nur El Kasysyaf Islamic Boarding School in Bekasi Regency on Saturday.

The general election held next year will be attended by two pairs of presidents and vice presidents. Pair number 01, Joko Widodo-Ma'ruf Amin, will face pair number 02, Prabowo-Sandiaga.
