The emergence of General Gatot Nurmantyo in the race for the presidency and vice-presidency is heating up the temperature of Indonesia's politics. He could well be an alternative to incumbent President Joko Widodo and his long-time challenger Prabowo Subianto. But Gatot's arrival will not be enough to resolve the democratic stagnation caused by a lack of ideas and leaders who can truly inspire. General Gatot, who retired at the end of March, is being put forward by, among others, the Great Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) Party. The former commander of the Indonesian Military (TNI) is being considered as a possible running mate to Gerindra's chair Prabowo.

Deliberation amongst Jokowi's opponents are continuing, especially since it is not yet certain whether Prabowo is serious about running. On the contrary, Gatot is more known for his controversial views. When he was TNI commander, he spoke about "illegal" arms import rumors, which exacerbated tensions between TNI and the Indonesian National Police (Polri). Later it was found out that the weapons had been officially imported by Polri, but without a recommendation from TNI.
