2019GantiPresiden

#2019GantiPresiden was a Twitter hashtag and social media campaign in which Indonesian users shared their disapproval towards the Joko Widodo presidency.

The hashtag went viral after it was used by Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) politician Mardani Ali Sera on Twitter.

Within a short period of time, T-shirts were produced with the hashtag, with Mardani denying that the movement is a political campaign due to a lack of a supported replacement.

[4] The movement garnered significant support from other opposition politicians, including Amien Rais (PAN)[5] and Yusril Ihza Mahendra (PBB).

There was a #2019GantiPresiden t-shirt seller at the Great Indonesia Movement Party National Working Meeting for Law and Advocacy at the Sultan Hotel, Jakarta.

"[18] His response was supported by Sohibul Iman, [19] while a similar response was made by Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) politician Eva Kusuma Sundari, who called the hashtag phenomenon "sad" since the general election campaign had not even started yet, and who highlighted the increasingly intense efforts of the opposition party to criticize Joko Widodo.

[24] Ruhut Sitompul doubted that the movement would actually replace Joko Widodo, citing the PKS' inability to eject Fahri Hamzah from his position as Deputy Speaker of the People's Consultative Assembly despite him having been fired in 2016.

[25] Secretary General of the PDI-P Hasto Kristiyanto similarly considered #2019GantiPresident to be a political maneuver, not an aspiration, and said that the opposition couldn't do anything while Joko Widodo's electability was high.
