JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party responded casually to the statement by the General Chair of the National Awakening Party (PKB) Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin, who targeted to beat the party made by Prabowo Subianto in 2024.

Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Party, Budisatrio Djiwandono, said his party had no objection to the target set by its coalition partners.

"The Gerindra Party is calm and has no objections to the target of PKB friends," Budi said when confirmed, Saturday, January 14. In fact, Prabowo's subordinates emphasized that their party wanted to seize the position of PDIP which is always at the peak of the election vote (election). Gerindra, said Budi, wants to be number one in the upcoming 2024 General Election. "We also have a target to compete for the first position in the 2024 General Election," said Budi.

Budi assessed that all political parties that have contested in the 2024 General Election will definitely have the aspiration to advance to a better position.

Therefore, he revealed, Gerindra does not mind if there are political parties who want to shift their position in second place in the 2019 election. Provided, added Budi, every political party can compete in a healthy manner without injuring democracy itself.

"The important thing is that we all compete in health, offer ideas and solutions for the prosperity of the people within the framework of the Republic of Indonesia based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution," he said.

Previously, Cak Imin targeted PKB to enter the top three votes for the 2024 General Election. In fact, Cak Imin hopes that PKB can shift Gerindra's position in second place after PDIP.

Initially, Cak Imin talked about a survey that showed that the PKB position was always in the top 3 in all surveys.

However, said Cak Imin, PDIP was still in the top position followed by the Gerindra Party. Meanwhile, PKB and the Golkar Party often compete in third place.

"But unfortunately, the first place winners are still PDIP, the second place winner is always between Gerindra, the third place winner is between Golkar and PKB," said Cak Imin at the 'Itjima Ulama Nusantara' event at the Millennium Hotel, Jakarta, Friday, January 13.

Therefore, Cak Imin targets his party to beat the Gerindra Party in second place in the 2024 General Election.

"Our target in 2024 is to beat Gerindra to number 2, amen, Wednesday, alamin," said Cak Imin.
