Jakarta (B2B) - Kehadiran mantan Kepala Staf TNI Angkatan Darat (Kasad) Jenderal (Purn) Pramono Edhie Wibowo sebagai Anggota Dewan Pembina Partai Demokrat, mengukuhkan parpol yang didirikan Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) mengusung politik kekerabatan.

Pengamat politik Universitas Gajah Mada (UGM) Arie Sudjito mengatakan, kehadiran Pramono Edhie Wibowo di Partai Demokrat telah diperkirakan sejak lama. Sangat mudah dibaca, paman Edhie Baskoro Yudhoyono atau Ibas yang menjabat Sekretaris Jenderal Partai Demokrat, akan 'dinobatkan' menjadi calon presiden atau wakil presiden pada Pemilu 2014.

"Jadi tidak menarik. Ketua umum bapaknya, sekretaris jenderal anak bapak, anggota dewan pembina pamannya. Ini menunjukkan unsur kekerabatan yang semakin kokoh di Demokrat," kata pengamat politik UGM Arie Sudjito seperti dilansir republika.co.id.

Menurut Arie, bukanlah hal yang mengejutkan ketika adik kandung Ibu Negara, Ani Yudhoyono diumumkan sebagai Anggota Dewan Pembina Partai Demokrat. Dilihat secara jangka pendek, Arie pesimistis apabila Pramono mampu mendongkrak Demokrat karena manuver mantan Kasad tersebut tidak menguntungkan bagi Demokrat.

Arie mengakui, menjelang usainya masa pemerintahan periode kedua SBY, Demokrat kekurangan kader yang mumpuni. Sementara Pramono Edhie Wibowo, putra mendiang Sarwo Edhie Wibowo secara figur biasa saja.

"Pramono tidak menonjol sebenarnya, secara DNA politik tidak menonjol. Dia terdongkrak karena keluarga SBY saja," ungkap Arie.

Tetapi dilihat dari jangka menengah dan panjang, kehadiran Pramono bisa saja memberikan kontribusi positif bagi Demokrat. Hal itu terjadi apabila mesin  politik di Partai Demokrat bekerja maksimal serta jika disiapkan rangkaian strategi baru. Misalnya, Demokrat memiliki komitmen serius membebaskan diri dari para koruptor. "Tapi sampai hari ini komitmen itu belum muncul."

Jakarta (B2B) - The presence of former Chief Staff of the Army, Gen. (Ret.) Pramono Edhie Wibowo as a Member of Board of Trustees of the Democratic Party, confirmed the political party founded by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) carries political of kinship.

Political observers Gajah Mada University (UGM) Sudjito Arie said Pramono Edhie Wibowo presence in the Democratic Party had been expected for a long time. Very readable, the uncle of Edhie Baskoro Yudhoyono, or Ibas who served as Secretary General of the Democratic Party, will be 'crowned' vice presidential candidate or president in the 2014 election.

"So not attractive. Chairman of the father, the secretary general son of father, trustees of a political party is his uncle. This indicates that the solid elements of kinship in the Democrats," said political analyst Arie Sudjito UGM as reported republika.co.id.

According to Arie, not surprised when younger brother of First Lady Ani Yudhoyono announced as a Member of Board of Trustees of the Democratic Party. Viewed in the short term, Arie pessimistic if the Pramono able to boost Democrats because the former Army's maneuvers were not favorable for Democrats.

Arie admit, towards the end of the reign of the second period SBY, Democrats lack the qualified cadres. While Pramono Edhie Wibowo, son of late Sarwo Wibowo the normal figure.

"Pramono no real standout, the political DNA is not prominent. He stands out, because of the family SBY," said Arie.

But is seen from the medium and long term, Pramono presence could make a positive contribution to the Democrats. It happened if the Democratic Party political machine working optimally and if prepared a series of new strategies. For example, Democrats have a serious commitment to free themselves from the corruptors. "But to this day it has not yet appeared commitment."
