        "content": "<p>Muhammad Qodari has been officially sworn in as the Head of the\nIndonesian Government Communication Agency (Bakom RI), replacing Angga\nRaka Prabowo.<\/p>\n<p>The inauguration ceremony took place at the State Palace in Jakarta\non Monday (27\/4).<\/p>\n<p>Bakom RI is a newly formed agency under the leadership of Indonesian\nPresident Prabowo Subianto. Angga Raka was the first person to lead this\nagency.<\/p>\n<p>Before Bakom, a similar agency was established at the end of the\nleadership of Indonesia\u2019s 7th President Joko Widodo, namely the\nPresidential Communication Office, headed by Hasan Nasbi as the Head of\nthe PCO.<\/p>\n<p>Qodari is not new to the government circle. Previously, he served as\nthe Head of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP). That position is now\nfilled by Retired General Dudung Abdurachman.<\/p>\n<p>Before that, he also served as Deputy Head of the KSP, assisting A.\nM. Putranto as the Head of the KSP.<\/p>\n<p>Before entering the government circle, Qodari was known as a\npolitical observer and researcher. He founded the Indo Barometer survey\ninstitute in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>Before founding Indo Barometer, Qodari served as Deputy Executive\nDirector of the Indonesian Survey Circle (LSI) from July 2005 to October\n2006 and as Research Director of the Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI)\nfrom July 2003 to June 2005.<\/p>\n<p>In his involvement in the national political arena, Qodari took part\nin the Jokowi-Prabowo Volunteer Group (Jokpro) as an advisor.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, there was widespread discussion about the three-term\npresidency issue for President Jokowi. This volunteer group was one of\nthe parties supporting that concept. Qodari once floated the idea of a\nJokowi-Prabowo duo in the 2024 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, it is not Jokowi\u2019s third term. Actually, I imagined and\nanticipated that the 2024 election\u2019s presidential candidates would be\npaired as Jokowi with Prabowo. So, precisely Jokowi-Prabowo 2024, that\nwas my tagline. I proclaim it here, Jokowi-Prabowo 2024,\u201d said\nQodari.<\/p>\n<p>Qodari explained one of the reasons for supporting a Jokowi-Prabowo\npairing at that time was to avoid the potential for political\npolarisation in society.<\/p>\n<p>He was concerned that political polarisation, as occurred in the 2014\npresidential election, the 2017 Jakarta regional election, and the 2019\npresidential election, would recur.<\/p>",
