JAKARTA - Secretary General (Secretary General) of the PKS DPP Aboe Bakar Al Habsyi believes that the 2024 election will be attended by three pairs of candidates for presidential and vice presidential candidates (cawapres).

"With the joining of the Golkar Party and PAN into the Prabowo Subianto coalition, the map of the presidential election is getting clearer. It can be concluded that in the 2024 election, there will be three pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates," he said in a written statement, Sunday, August 13, which was confiscated by Antara.

He stressed that the support given by Golkar and PAN to Prabowo is a constitutional right that must be respected. He sees this as part of a democratic process that needs to be done with full respect.

He also emphasized that each party has the authority and independence to elect a presidential candidate in the election.

"I think the presence of three pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates is quite ideal. It is necessary to avoid an unfavorable experience in the previous election, where community polarization occurs because of the two pairs of candidates," he explained.

Aboe Bakar hopes that the presence of three pairs of presidential and vice-presidential candidates in the upcoming elections will create a more balanced and diverse contestation.

He also invited all parties to jointly create an atmosphere of people's parties that brings joy.

Currently, there are three presidential candidates who will compete in the 2024 General Election. Prabowo Subianto is a presidential candidate promoted by the Greater Indonesia Awakening Coalition (KIR) by the Gerindra Party and the National Awakening Party (PKB), the Golkar Party and the National Mandate Party (PAN).

Meanwhile, Ganjar Pranowo was promoted by the PDI-P Party and the United Development Party (PPP).

Then, Anies Baswedan was carried by the Coalition for Change for Unity (KPP) by the NasDem Party, PKS and the Democratic Party.

Based on the schedule set by the General Election Commission (KPU) of the Republic of Indonesia, the registration of prospective presidential and vice presidential candidates is scheduled to start from October 19 to November 25, 2023.

As regulated in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections (UU Pemilu), pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates are proposed by political parties or coalitions of political parties participating in the election who meet the requirements for obtaining seats of at least 20 percent of the total number of seats in the DPR or obtaining 25 percent of valid votes nationally in the previous election for members of the DPR.

Currently, there are 575 seats in parliament so that the pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates in the 2024 presidential election must have at least 115 seats in the DPR RI. It could also be that the candidate pairs are promoted by political parties or a combination of political parties participating in the 2019 Election with a total valid vote acquisition of at least 34,992,703 votes.
