 ABSTRACT

Deandra AH, 2018. Social Approach on 2019 President Election. A Research Paper, English
cross interest. Jakarta: October 2018.

As the president election period is approaching within a year, a lot of people started to either
contemplating, promoting, or simply are riding the waves of the society for the election.
Election in Indonesia has started since 1955. Back in the days where there were limitless of
parties joining the election campaign to gain the most votes and then the amount of party
joining for the election was being limited up to some numbers. The election is a form of the
implementation of Indonesia’s democratic government. The election allows the citizen to
choose the candidates up to their freedom and allows them to voice their opinion on who they
think is deserved the title to lead the country to a better place to live in. Because, the citizen is
definite and determine factor on the success or failure an election is and if the election goes
well, this hopefully will lead into a better way to manage the country, so we definitely can
say that choosing president is absolutely no gambling game without consequences.
Thus, this Research Paper was made to summarized what the society actually thinks about the
whole commotion about the election. This research looks up for how the society responds for
the next 2019 President Election through surveys and articles on the internet that we will
include as references to support our statement. The purpose of this research is to know and
understand if the society still needs a figure to look up to for the 2019 election and see their
participation on the election. And how much does this figure will affect their decision on
choosing the next president to lead the country also, just how much the society respects this
figure, enough to use them as a great example and benchmark on who to choose for the
election. This paper also includes the background of the candidates and what they have done
for the country as an information to look up to for the citizens to contemplate on their
decision. With this paper, we will know the majority of people's way of thinking about the
candidates despite the campaigns and promotions all over the place.

CHAPTER I:
Introduction

1.1 Background of the study

General elections (called elections) are the process of choosing people to fill certain political
positions. These positions vary, from the president, representatives of the people at various
levels of government, to the village head. In broader context, elections can also mean the
process of filling positions such as the student council president or class leader, although for
this the word 'election' is used more often.
Election is one of the efforts to influence the people persuasively (not coercively) by
conducting rhetoric, public relations, mass communication, lobbying and other activities.
Although agitation and propaganda in democratic countries are severely criticized, in the
election campaign In general, many agitation techniques and propaganda techniques are also
used by candidates or politicians, always political communicators.
This research paper was made to study and learn about the participation of the citizen upon
the election through surveys and general social approach around the school. This research
paper was also made to find out about how people choose the candidates and based on what
are they seeing to choose the candidates.

1.2 Problem of the Study

1. Is a figure of character still needed in the 2019 election?
2. How big is the influence of a figure in the 2019 election victory?
3. Does the Indonesian people still appreciate the figure to gain votes in 2019 election?

1.3 Limitations of the study

Although this research was carefully prepared, I am still aware of its limitations and
shortcomings.
First of all, the research was conducted in such short time before it was being
collected. The time given is not enough for the researcher to observe all of the students’
speaking performance in their classes. It would be better if it was done in a longer time.
Second, the population of the experimental group is small, only fifteen people and
might not represent the majority of the society of the intermediate level.
Third, since the questionnaire designed to find out about the society's perspective
about the figure that might affect the election, it seems not to provide enough evidence to
actually represent the whole idea.

1
 In addition, since the assessment of the pretest and post test was conducted by the
author herself, it is unavoidable that in this study, certain degree of subjectivity can be found.
In fact, it would have been sort of objective if it had been decided by two or three examiners.

1.4 Aim of the study

The purpose of this research paper is to find out about the background of both
candidates for the election, analysing the attitude and reactions of the citizen upon the
election, figuring out if the citizen still needs a figure to choose the president and exploring
the history of each candidates before giving out our opinion.

1.5 Research Design

This research paper's research design sharing around 15 papers filled with
questionnaires for the people to fill in the blanks of their opinions on our statements. The
writer goes around and give the papers to the people around the school, SMAN 24 Jakarta
and articles from internet as preferences.

1.6 Benefits of the study

As in the benefits of this study, we will be able to know about what the society sees
both from sociology point of view and their political view. From this also, we would be able
to know and learn about their reactions to the issues going around about both of the
candidates.

 CHAPTER II:
Research Method
II.1 Method Design
In this paper, the information is taken from articles on the internet and the survey
samples shared to people around the school area. The writer used sociological approach to
write the research paper.

II.2 Technique of Analyzing the Data

This paper uses a descriptive method with social approach and lots of reading in
analyzing the data. The descriptive method is a method which describes the object of the
research’s condition.
In the beginning of this method, the very first thing to do is to read articles thoroughly
before writing down the conclusion to what the articles had said. By this, it means that we
have to analyze and interpreting the articles and data we gathered.
There are some steps to write this research paper:
1. The writer reads the articles on the internet. The writer learns and interpreting
the articles on the internet while filtering on which articles actually leaning to
one side or whether it’s a neutral side before using them as references for this
research paper.
2. The writer makes some questionnaires papers for the writer to share with other
people.
3. The writer shares the paper with people around and have them fill their
opinions on the writer’s statements which range between strongly agree,
agree, disagree and strongly disagree.
4. The writer uses the answers as references for the research paper.
5. The writer makes conclusion out of the data. In the end, the writer will
conclude all the data and use it to answer the problems for the study.
II.3 Definition of Figure
In the Oxford’s Dictionary, the term figure means someone who has a significant part
or role in a situation or process. In the Collin’s Dictionary, the word figure could also means
Someone who is referred to as a figure of a particular kind is a person who is well-known and
important in some way.

III. 1 Brief Synopsis of Election

General elections (called elections) are the process of choosing people to fill certain
political positions. These positions vary, from the president, representatives of the people at
various levels of government, to the village head. In broader context, elections can also mean
the process of filling positions such as the student council president or class leader, although
for this the word 'election' is used more often.
Election is one of the efforts to influence the people persuasively (not coercively) by
conducting rhetoric, public relations, mass communication, lobbying and other activities.
Although agitation and propaganda in democratic countries are severely criticized, in the
election campaign In general, many agitation techniques and propaganda techniques are also
used by candidates or politicians, always political communicators.
In the General Election, voters in the General Election are also called constituents,
and to them Election participants offer promises and programs during the campaign period.
[Referral] Campaigns are carried out for a specified time, before polling day.
After the voting is carried out, the counting process begins. Election winners are
determined by the rules of the game or the system of determining winners that have
previously been determined and approved by the participants, and socialized to voters.

III. 2 Analysis on Election

The two 2019 Indonesian presidential candidates are important roles in the
election. To estimate who will become Indonesia's next leader, many institutions conduct
surveys to find out how many people support Jokowi and how many people support
Prabowo. For example, such as a survey conducted by the Indonesian Survey Circle (LSI),
which states that Jokowi has a high probability of winning the 2019 election by the result that
comes out from the survey that states Jokowi wins in the electability.
“Candidates in the 2019 Presidential Election namely Jokowi and Ma'ruf
Amin were ahead of the pair Prabowo and Sandiaga in 2 survey
institutions recently. Electability Jokowi-Ma'ruf is above 50% in both
surveys.
The first survey came from the Indonesian Survey Circle (LSI) Denny
JA. The survey, which was held on 12-19 August 2018, produced a
number that showed the superiority of Jokowi-Ma'ruf in terms of
electability.”
(https://news.detik.com/berita/4183740/adu-kuat-jokowi-prabowo-di-2-
lembaga-survei)

 However, in the survey conducted by Kumparan, Prabowo still won thinly compared
to Jokowi and stated that voters who were still abstentions would be the real winner of the
survey.
“Based on the Kumparan poll analysis, Prabowo-Sandiaga is only 3
percent ahead. Prabowo-Sandi received 51.5 percent of the vote (95
percent density interval 0.504-0.525), while Jokowi-Ma'ruf received 48.5
percent of the vote (95 percent 0.475-0.496 density interval).
Meanwhile, the total number of votes polled online is 27,668, with a total
of valid votes coming in 7,766. The results of this poll show that the
presidential election is quite competitive, where the victory of the
candidate looks very thin.”
(https://www.idntimes.com/news/indonesia/rochmanudin-wijaya/hasil-
polling-prabowo-sandi-menang-tipis-dari-jokowi-maruf/full)

In choosing the president, of course the people will start comparing candidates with
their vision and mission as the first stepping stone. Jokowi's vision and mission as stated
below;
“On the side of the pair of presidential and vice presidential candidates
number 1, they carry the vision of the realization of an advanced
Indonesia that is sovereign, independent, and personable, based on
mutual cooperation. Meanwhile, the mission of the candidate pair carried
out by the nine political parties is nine points. First, improve Indonesia's
human quality.”
(http://www.tribunnews.com/pilpres-2019/2018/09/24/visi-misi-jokowi-
dan-prabowo-di-pilpres-2019)

However, unlike Jokowi, the following is the vision and mission that Prabowo has
stated for the 2019 election;
“Meanwhile, the vision of the Prabowo-Sandiaga pair is "the realization
of a just and prosperous nation and state of the Republic of Indonesia,
prosperous with dignity, religion, sovereignty in the political field,
standing on its own feet in the economic field, and a strong national
personality in the cultural field and guaranteeing a harmonious life
among citizens regardless of ethnicity, religion, social background and
race based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of
Indonesia.”
(https://nasional.kompas.com/read/2018/09/24/15521361/infografik-
melihat-visi-misi-jokowi-maruf-dan-prabowo-sandiaga.)
Even though there are many issues, it cannot be denied that until now, the reason many people
chose to support Jokowi for the second period was because they made his performance and personality
as their basis and benchmark.
“From Kompas Research and Development Data, no less than 34.5
percent of Jokowi's voters revealed that in carrying out his leadership
duties, President Jokowi was able to demonstrate significant changes to
existing problems. Apart from aspects of work performance, Jokowi's

5
 personal personality is also the biggest attraction among his supporters.
The personal side shown by Jokowi, such as the effort to show closeness
and partiality to the community, attracts around 19 percent of voters.
Other personal aspects, such as the attitude of honesty, simplicity, and
firmness shown, are also a separate reason for Jokowi's voters.”
(https://nasional.kompas.com/read/2017/05/29/17552781/ini.alasan.respo
nden.pilih.jokowi.dan.prabowo.versi.survei.kompas.)

Unlike Jokowi, who is famous for his gentle nature and looks simple, Prabowo has
many supporters because of his famous stern, courageous and brave personality.
"As many as 33.2 percent chose Prabowo Subianto because they were
considered firm," said Executive Director of Media, Rico Marbun, during
the release of the results of a Median survey related to Presidential
candidate 2019. The survey results held during the February 1-9 period
also showed that 11.7 percent chose Prabowo because they were
considered dashing and authoritative. Prabowo was chosen because of the
TNI / Military as much as 6.9 percent.
Prabowo is also considered brave. For this reason, there are 4.2 percent.
Meanwhile, as much as 3.6 percent dropped the choice of presidential
candidate to Prabowo because the former Kopassus secretary was
considered good in his leadership.”
(https://www.republika.co.id/berita/nasional/pilkada/18/02/24/p4nrz4257-
lima-alasan-memilih-capres-prabowo-subianto)

During the five years Jokowi leading in Indonesia, he has lots of achievments during
his working time, one of which was the development of infrastructure that he managed to do.
“During 2014-2018 the government of President Jokowi had built around
3400 km of regular roads, plus 443 km of toll roads. In this case we
cannot say this achievement is playing games. But, that is not without
notes. The Brebes-Kendal toll road, which has been used twice for
Lebaran homecoming, has not yet been completed. Likewise the
Becakayu toll road. That is, there are still jobs that have not been
completed.”
(https://news.detik.com/kolom/d-4226012/menakar-prestasi-jokowi)

Prabowo during his time as a member of the TNI military, also had achievements that
made Indonesia part of the World Elite Forces.
“As a KOPASSUS soldier, Prabowo managed to lead the rescue
operation of the 95th Lorentz Expeditionary held by the Free Papua
Organization in the 1996 mapenduma hostage release operation. At that
time, Prabowo Subianto acted as commander. Prabowo proved to military
consultants from Delta Force America and British SAS that their rescue
missions were "mission impossible" verdicts could be resolved well by
KOPASSUS.”

 CHAPTER IV:
Conclusion and Suggestion
IV.1 Conclusion
With 2019 election approaching, there are many pros and cons among the two
candidates, both from the success team and from their respective supporters. Both parties
often boast of their chosen people to gain public attention to choose their candidates. There
are also many parties who keeps boasting about the candidates they choose by dropping other
parties in order to raise the prestige of their chosen candidate. In this field, it is evident that in
elections, there are still other criteria for selecting Indonesian presidential candidates. Both in
terms of background, age, material wealth, race and ethnicity, performance, religious side,
even physical appearance. In addition, there are still parties who choose to abstain and do not
use their voting rights to elect the presidential candidate due to doubts with all the options
provided. Some parties actually do not care about the election and as long as they choose
without thinking about the consequences.
If it is seen from how the people react to the 2019 election candidates, there are still
some of the people who need the figure of a character as their benchmark for choosing the
future president. Both in terms of how they govern or from the personality of the figure. There
are still a few people who do things such as comparing candidates with several presidents who
have served or at least use other figures as their benchmark in deciding whether or not the
candidate deserves to be chosen. However, not a few of the people who choose to see the
situation and the condition that is happening in Indonesia to choose candidates without
needing a figure as an ideal model in the election.

IV.2 Suggestion
From the conclusions that have been made, in our opinion it is better if someone
searches for many things about the candidates who will take part in the election. That way, the
people can predict in the future through the background they have found out. Then, for some
people who vote for abstentions instead of using their voting rights to vote, it's good for them
to think carefully about their choices and choose by taking advantage of their voting rights as
they should. Then, the community should choose the leader of this country in accordance with
their conscience without any command or coercion or invitation from others, whether family
or friends.
As for the candidates, they should compete to win elections fairly and honestly.
Without personal bribes or promises to the people to be elected. Choose the president
according to your heart. Make sure they are the right partner for this country so that Indonesia
can be better. Do not let you regret your choice, so you must be sure that you choose the right
choice first. Do not divide and continue to unite so that Indonesia can continue to grow better.
