2019 Election and Strengthening Political Identity: The Importance of the Role of Nu & Muhammadiah in Maintaining Quality Democracy

Syafhendry, Setyo Utomo

2019

Abstract

Post-reformation, the 2019 election was felt as the most present election tension among the community, compared to the previous elections since the 1999 general election. The use of identity politics by attracting religious sentiments into the political realm was truly massive and almost split the affiliated communities in the two big poles of sympathizers and supporters of two vice presidential presidential candidates Joko Widodo-Ma'ruf Amin vs. Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno. Islam as the majority religion in Indonesia, greatly determines the future of democracy in Indonesia. The success of the implementation of post-reform democracy which is driven by Islam, must be maintained and continued. NU and Muhammadiah as representations of the two largest Islamic organizations in Indonesia are required to provide enlightenment to build moderate community thinking, to strengthen the building and quality of democracy. The 2019 presidential election is expected to be a learning to prepare a quality democracy far from the use of identity politics.
