Abstract
This study delves into the ideological underpinnings of prospective presidential candidates in Indonesia's 2024 pre-election period. Through qualitative descriptive methods, it analyzes the content, linguistic nuances, and motivations behind their political statements. The data, drawn from sources like newspapers, television, and social media, focuses on Anis Rasyid Baswedan, Ganjar Pranowo, and Prabowo Subianto. Employing Halliday's systemic functional linguistics framework, the research uncovers distinct leadership ideologies, linguistic styles, and their underlying justifications. This work not only advances applied linguistics, especially in the realm of political discourse analysis, but also serves as a valuable tool for voters seeking to grasp candidates' ideologies for the 2024 elections, potentially mitigating societal tensions. Furthermore, it enriches political and language education for the public, bolstering UNIMED's academic resources in discourse analysis and systemic functional linguistics.
