Dialogue Free Dialogue In Coffee Shop From Several Media Crews Who Also Highlighted The 2024 Pemalang Election Contest
Based on quite significant survey results, it turns out that the Coalition that carried the Incumbent in the PILBUP Regional Election contest on Wednesday (11/27/2024), actually achieved second place from the quick count results that were widely circulated in the media, "Of the three contestants for Regent and Deputy Regent, each achieved a quite significant difference in numbers.
Reporting from PEMALANG, KOMPAS.com -, based on the BM Center's quick count version, the AnNur candidate pair number 03 won 44.42 percent of the vote, followed by candidate pair number 02, Mansur Hidayat and Muhammad Bobby Dewantara, who won 36.21 percent.
Meanwhile, candidate pair number 01, Vicky Prasetyo and Suwendi, were in last place with 19.38 percent of the vote. Please note, the quick count results are not the official results of the 2024 simultaneous regional elections. The KPU will only announce the official results of the simultaneous regional elections 2024 for the district/city level on December 12, 2024.
The results are certainly in the public spotlight in Pemalang Regency, however, looking at the Dynamics of Politics in Pemalang, there are several things that we can capture from the free dialogues in coffee shops from several media crews who also highlighted the results.
In the context of the 2024 Pilkada/Pilbup in Pemalang Regency, it turns out that there are signs of potential defeat from the Grand Coalition consisting of a number of large political parties. Several factors that could contribute to this potential defeat include:
-Voter Disappointment: If the public is dissatisfied with the performance of the existing Government, voters may look for alternatives outside the grand coalition, this clearly happens because the number of votes from the supporters of the Grand Coalition supporting the Incumbent is unable to exceed the number of votes from the supporters of the single Coalition which topped the vote count.
-The Emergence of Alternative Candidates; Candidates from parties without a coalition, in other words a small coalition, are actually the district head and deputy district head candidates who are able to attract public attention and this can greatly reduce support for the Big Coalition.
-Local issues; Specific problems faced by each region (especially Pemalang Regency), such as the sale and purchase of positions, welfare issues, or even infrastructure, even to the point of garbage, can influence voters' choices.
Even though the above issues have been able to be dismissed in the Public Debate for the District Head Election that has taken place.
-Less Effective Campaign Strategy; If the big coalition is unable to convey a clear message and vision, they are very likely to lose support. It could be that the coalition is large but the campaign activities are not as big as the coalition.
-Mobilization of Young Voters; The younger generation who are increasingly playing a role in general elections, who often have different views, can be a determining factor in the election results. And this is what makes the difference.
Therefore, in the above situation and conditions, it is important for the Grand Coalition to take a more inclusive approach, listen to the aspirations of the community, and adapt campaign strategies to remain relevant and attractive to potential voters of the Young Generation.
- Changing Political Dynamics; Changes in political alliances and socio-economic conditions can also affect election results. Although closely related to socio-economic conditions, there are also those who argue that "The best politics are those that benefit and prosper voters", although the opinion above cannot be wrong, it can also be right.
