JAKARTA - A number of general chairmen (ketum) of political parties in the Greater Indonesia Awakening Coalition (KKIR) attended the 25th Anniversary of the National Mandate Party (PAN) which was held tonight.

Ketum Partai Gerindra Prabowo Subianto, Ketum Partai Golkar Airlangga Hartarto, Ketum PBB Yusril Ihza Mahendra. Together with the chairman of PAN Zulkifli Hasan, the three of them sat in the front row.

Meanwhile, PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar alias Cak Imin) only attended the location when the event had started. He was immediately embraced by Prabowo and Zulhas before occupying a seat in the ranks of the party chairman supporting Prabowo as a presidential candidate.

The party's DPP administrators who are members of the KKIR are also present at the commemoration of the establishment of PAN. Not only that, a number of government ministers of President Joko Widodo were also present, namely SOE Minister Erick Thohir, Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Muhadjir Effendy, and Menpora Dito Aritedjo.

Erick and Muhadjir sit on a separate side with a row of party general chairmen. Later, both of them were proposed by PAN to become candidates for vice president to accompany Prabowo Subianto.

Previously, PAN Secretary General Eddy Soeparno stated that his party only invited parties that were in the same coalition. The 25th anniversary of PAN today did not invite PDIP, PPP and NasDem as government coalition parties outside the pro Prabowo Subianto coalition.

"So we appreciate that the government coalition is also friendly. But that doesn't mean that if we don't invite friendship to crack, no," said Eddy, Sunday, August 27.

PAN only invited Golkar, Gerindra and PKB because they wanted to strengthen cooperation for the benefit of the coalition.

"I think friendship continues, but in order to carry out the PAN anniversary, we also see that our cooperation in the future will be even closer to friends in the coalition," he continued.
