00:00Based on the quick count of votes in the 2024 elections in the cities of Pangkal, Pinang, and Bangka regencies,
00:09Kosong is a strong candidate from the political party.
00:15The political dynamics of single candidates in the regional election contest has been happening since the 2015 election.
00:23Single candidates who compete with Kosong are used to the election.
00:29However, the advantages of Kosong always attract attention and become a discussion.
00:34A political observer who is also a political science lecturer at Bangka Belitung University, Ariandi Azulkarnain, said,
00:42the advantage or victory of Kosong is the real existence of people's resistance to the political elite in two regions,
00:49namely the city of Pangkal, Pinang, and the Bangka regency.
00:53Ariandi, who was met in the Bangka regency on Friday, November 29, said,
00:58Kosong is an opportunity for the people or willingness to show resistance.
01:06Kosong's willingness is that this is the victory of the people.
01:11This is an effort to reclaim democracy in Pangkal, Pinang from the process of elitism.
01:18They said that no one can feel more dominant in politics,
01:26so in democracy they have to give opportunities and space to other political opponents.
01:32The people certainly consider that this is part of their resistance.
01:37Ariandi added that the victory of Kosong also indicates the people's concern for the democratic process that is taking place.
01:45The people are now more politically educated, so they care about the conditions in their region.
01:51He hopes that if the final result is decided on the victory for Kosong,
01:55then the election of regional leaders in Pangkal, Pinang and the Bangka regency
02:00can be an evaluation material for political parties to form new coalitions and no longer refer to one single candidate.
02:09From the Bangka regency, Bangka Belitung, Chandri Kapurnamadewi, Kentor Berita Antara reported.
