Usep explained that independent candidates actually emerge as a critique of the party system mandated to recruit candidates in regional elections. However, some believe the party system remains undemocratic, leading to challenges in the Constitutional Court (MK), which were successful. “In practice, many independent candidates fail in terms of electability. Furthermore, independent candidates lack party support in parliament, which is crucial for implementing various programs,” Usep stated. Usep mentioned that independent candidates must be financially strong and have extensive networks, in addition to competing against party candidates with party machinery. “Party-nominated candidates are usually one step ahead because of the party machinery supporting them. Unless an independent candidate is highly popular and well-connected, it is difficult,” he remarked.

Zulkifli Hasan earlier proposed that Kaesang pair up with Zita Anjani in the Jakarta Pilkada because he desired Jakarta to be led by young people. “Kaesang is young, I even suggested it before, ‘Sir, I suggested it a year ago, what if Jakarta is led by young people, Kaesang.’ That was about a year ago, if I’m not mistaken,” he mentioned.

Now it’s permissible, it was challenged. ‘Don’t do it, Mr. Zul,’ that’s about it,” he concluded.
