Prabowo-Gibran Not Attending Halalbihalal PKS

JAKARTA - President of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Ahmad Syaikhu said the elected president and vice president Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka was not present at the halalbihalal activity held by PKS today.

"Pak Prabowo can't attend because he has an event," said Ahmad Syaikhu at the PKS DPP office, South Jakarta, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, April 27.

However, he ensured that there would be further gathering activities so that he could meet directly with Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

Syaikhu said this event was held as an event to stay in touch with party leaders after the dynamics of the general election was over. This gathering aims to increase the unity of all groups to strengthen the nation.

Regarding this meeting related to the discourse of PKS joining the government coalition following in the footsteps of PKB and NasDem, he could not confirm this.

"Not yet, this (PKS joins the coalition) is the realm of the Syuro Council Deliberation, I have great respect, later it will be decided by the Shura Council or the Syuro Council Working Body," he said.

Previously, PKB declared entry into the government coalition in a meeting between Prabowo and PKB General Chair Muhaimin Iskandar on Wednesday (24/4).

The next day, NasDem followed in the footsteps of the PKB into the government coalition to support the Prabowo-Gibran government.

Until now, Gerindra and parties in KIM are still making efforts to approach parties to join the big coalition.
