The Controversy of Identity Politics in the 2024 General Election

 


Thesis

General Election or known as "Pemilihan Umum" (Pemilu) is the implementation of the most votes cast for the election of the president. In my opinion, the 2024 general election is filled with excessive drama and gimmicks. Even some candidates use religion as a medium for campaigning. Using religion as a medium for campaigning is part of identity politics.

 

Argument 1

Firstly, there is candidate number 3, Ganjar Pranowo, who appeared in a Maghrib call to prayer advertisement broadcast on one of the Indonesian TV stations. Ganjar Pranowo has never done anything like this before, but because of the election, he is engaging in identity politics. In my opinion, the call to prayer advertisement should not be used as a campaign medium.

 

Argument 2

Secondly, in addition to candidate number 3, Ganjar Pranowo, engaging in identity politics and using religion as a medium for campaigning, candidate number 1, Anies Baswedan along with his deputy Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar, or better known as Cak Imin, are even worse in engaging in identity politics. They use "sholawatan" (Islamic religious songs) with altered lyrics for campaigning. There is even a circulating video of 4 PKB cadre members simultaneously reciting the call to prayer from 4 different directions.

 

Argument 3

Thirdly, this identity politics should be reduced immediately, as it can cause discrimination. This can worsen tensions during the election and exacerbate divisions in society. In my opinion, campaigning does not have to be with religion, it can also be with the vision and mission that the candidates offer.

 

Conclusion

Both candidates use religion as a medium for campaigning and they also engage in identity politics. Personally, I disagree with using religion as a medium for campaigning. They should be able to campaign without using religion as a medium for campaigning.
