Bengkulu – It is clear that the early stages of the Bengkulu Province elections will be followed by three candidates pairs . They are Agusrin-Imron, Helmi Hasan-Muslihan and Rohidin-Rosjonsyah. Helmi Hasan-Muslihan registered with the Bengkulu Province KPU on Saturday, September 5, 2020, as well as Rohidin-Rosjonsyah. Meanwhile, Agusrin-Imron registered on Sunday, 6 September 2020.
Judging from the map of the political party that carries the candidate for his third running mate based on the B1-KWK document in circulation, Helmi Hasan-Muslihan is promoted by Hanura, PAN and Nasdem. Meanwhile, Agusrin-Imron is supported by PKB, Perindo, PBB and Gerindra, and the Rohidin-Rosjonsyah pair will be supported by Golkar, PDIP, PSI, PKPI, Democrat, PPP and PKS. The three plans for the candidate pair have met the party administration requirements.
From the strength of the supporting political parties, it is certain that the Rohidin-Rosjonsyah candidate pair will be the strongest party-based pair. This pair will be supported by the strength of 23 seats in the Bengkulu Provincial DPRD from 5 supporting political parties and 2 non-seat supporting political parties, namely PKPI and PSI. This is 50 percent more power than the number of seats in the Bengkulu Provincial DPRD. Supporters may be optimistic, this pair will stroll smoothly as winners when viewed from the mass base of the political parties that carry them.
Meanwhile, the plans for the Agusrin-Imron Rosyadi candidate pair are also rivals that should not be underestimated. Agusrin and Imron Rosyadi are familiar with the people of Bengkulu. Their names are popular because they have a mass political base from the past. It remains only to see how the past political mass bases can be reunited for the 9 December 2020 pilkada, so it is certain that both of them will win this pilkada.
For Helmi Hasan and Muslihan DS, also cannot be underestimated. Helmi Hasan, as is known, this year has spread the network to the village. His attributes were scattered everywhere that almost matched the incumbent. Helmi is familiar with temporal ideas and ideas that can steal the attention of the masses. And this can be a decisive force for victory.
Seeing the past Pilwakot event, Helmi casually without seeming busy was able to win it.
Just to note, after the three pairs of prospective candidates have registered with the KPU, they will still face factual verification of the candidate pair’s requirements documents.
Happy competing for the people’s votes!
