Consolidating Victory

Joko Widodo, the incumbent in the presidential election, appeared without bringing a new volume of Nawacita in his campaign. He maintained and remained consistent with the Nawacita that he has been carrying out since 2014.

Gathering resources and uniting for the potential to obtain or maintain victory, such as in the presidential and vice-presidential elections (pilpres), is certainly normal and reasonable.

Support is enumerated, reinforcements are formed, funds are collected, and if necessary any party that is still in doubt or in a gray area is withdrawn. Tactics and strategies are prepared, concepts and ideas are assessed, promises of various programs are designed. Facing the presidential election, all efforts are made as total and complete as possible. In short, all out. It cannot be compared to just a sports match that knows the term of the draw. In the presidential election, what exists is only to win or lose.

So what is unusual? Certainly it is strange, when later the struggle seems to end in victory itself. All parties celebrate and forget to take care of the victory, forget to consolidate promises, and forget to organize work and development programs. The campaign teams seem to stop from all their duties.
