JAKARTA - The Golkar Party, the National Mandate Party (PAN) and the United Development Party (PPP) have formed a United Threes coalition after a meeting of their general leaders.

The National Awakening Party (PKB) welcomed the 'coalition'. PKB considers that the formation of a coalition is a necessity for political parties.

"As long as there is a better democracy and accelerated development, cooperation between political parties is a necessity," said PKB Secretary General Hasanuddin Wahid, Friday, May 13.

However, according to Hasanuddin, PKB has no intention of joining the United Bertiga coalition. This is because the party chaired by Muhaimin Iskandar is currently focusing on building a coalition with the people to face the pandemic.

"For now, PKB is more focused on building coalitions with the people, rising from adversity due to the pandemic," he said.

In fact, Hasanuddin said, PKB was more likely to form a new coalition without joining Golkar, PAN and PPP.

"Surely the direction will be there," he concluded.
