JAKARTA - PKB General Chairperson (Ketum) Muhaimin Iskandar alias Cak Imin admitted that he was surprised to learn that there was an issue of Prabowo Subianto-Ganjar Pranowo's duet for the 2024 presidential election.

This was conveyed by the Deputy Secretary General of PKB Syaiful Huda regarding Prabowo's discourse in pairs with other figures who were not in the cooperation agreement in the PKB coalition with Gerindra.

"Cak Imin is also surprised that there is an issue like that. But that's a reaction, Cak Imin's response, what if there is a Prabowo-Ganjar. Of course that is not what we want," Huda told reporters, Thursday, November 24.

Huda said that until today the relationship between PKB and Gerindra was going well without a rift. In facing the 2024 presidential election, Huda said PKB-Gerindra was committed to maintaining a cooperation charter agreement signed last August. "It has been (communication) and we are jointly keeping it together so that the cooperation charter scheme can be maintained. Even though we are both committed to guarding," said the chairman of Commission X of the DPR.

It is known, the cooperation charter regarding presidential and vice presidential candidates is determined by an agreement between the general chairman of PKB and Gerindra.

If suddenly Gerindra declares the Prabowo-Ganjar pair, said Huda, it will injure the cooperation charter signed by the PKB-Gerindra.

"PKB-Gerindra is still jointly committed to maintaining it. But to this day, we have not been able to complete the agenda of who the presidential and vice presidential candidates are. Friends of journalists ask, 'Sir, why is there a Prabowo-Ganjar issue?' If that happened, Cak Imin was like that, this could injure the charter of cooperation. That's all," said Huda.
