JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party plans to declare its General Chair, Prabowo Subianto, as a presidential candidate for 2024 at the end of July 2022. The momentum coincides with the national leadership meeting (Rapimnas) which will soon be held by Gerindra. At this time, Gerindra administrators and cadres are asking for the willingness of the general chairman to run again in the 2024 presidential election.

"Currently, Prabowo Subianto has only been asked for his willingness to be confirmed as a presidential candidate from Gerindra through the National Meeting which will be held at the end of July 2022," Dasco said in a statement, Saturday, July 2.

The deputy chairman of the DPR revealed that the new declaration would only be on the determination of the presidential candidate, while the cawapres would be determined later.

"So who is the presidential candidate and who is the vice presidential candidate from the Gerindra Party is waiting for time and will be carried out according to the party mechanism, all administrators and cadres understand that very well," said Dasco.

As is known, the Gerindra Party agreed to form the Greater Indonesia Awakening Coalition with PKB. The two political parties have yet to determine which pairs of candidates for vice president will be promoted. Both PKB and Gerindra both proposed the general chairman as a presidential candidate. It has not been decided whether the coalition will carry Prabowo-Muhaimim or Muhaimin-Prabowo.
