JAKARTA - Coalition ahead of the 2024 General Election has emerged. After the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) was declared by Golkar-PAN-PPP, Gerindra and PKB agreed to form the Greater Indonesia Awakening Coalition.

Even the Gerindra Coalition and PKB are working on the name Prabowo Subianto to be paired with Muhaimin Iskandar. While the NasDem Party has yet to announce a coalition with PKS and Democrats, these parties have given signals that they will carry Anies Baswedan.

Of the coalitions that emerged, political observer and executive director of Indonesia Political Opinion (IPO), Dedi Kurnia Syah, considered the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) to be the weakest coalition of political parties. Because according to him, there is no presidential or vice-presidential candidate whose electability is high enough than Golkar, PPP or PAN.

“KIB is the weakest coalition. From the figures, there is no character who appears dominant in terms of electability,” said Dedi Kurnia in Jakarta, Tuesday, July 5. Dedi said that in terms of the general chairpersons of both Golkar, PAN and PPP, the electability of the three is still far from the names of the other cawapres candidates. "(Chairman) electability is quite weak," said Dedi. Moreover, added Dedi, there was pressure to resign against PPP chairman Suharso Monoarfa. This, according to him, threatened KIB which could disband halfway. "The problem for KIB, the coalition is the most vulnerable at the same time they are threatened with disbanding in the middle of the road,” he concluded.
