JAKARTA - The Golkar Party responded to a statement by the Chairman of the Advisory Council of PPP, M Romahurmuziy or Rommy, who said that the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) was prone to breaking up due to differences in proposing the name of the presidential candidate (candidate). Spokesperson for the Golkar Party DPP, Tantowi Yahya, emphasized that the three chairmen of political parties who are members of KIB, namely Golkar, PAN and PPP, agreed that the determination of the names of presidential and vice-presidential candidates is waiting for mutual agreement in a special forum. "All coalition party leaders agree that who will become the presidential and vice presidential candidates will be decided in a special forum," said Tantowi when confirmed, Thursday, March 9. The former member of the DPR also asked all parties to wait for consensus in a special forum to discuss and determine the presidential and vice presidential candidates of KIB. "We are waiting for the results of the KIB political parties," he said. Previously, the chairman of the PPP Advisory Council M Romahurmuziy or Rommy again mentioned the potential for division in the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB). The reason KIB is prone to breaking, according to Rommy, is because of the difference in the names of presidential candidates from Golkar, PPP, and PAN. "Today in Pak Airlangga's position, he was pushed until yesterday to become a presidential candidate, Mr. Zul said Mr. Ganjar (presidential candidate)," Rommy said, in a discussion, Wednesday, March 8. It is known that the Golkar Party is adamant in nominating General Chair Airlangga Hartarto as a presidential candidate. Meanwhile, PAN proposed the Governor of Central Java who is also a PDIP cadre, Ganjar Pranowo. Meanwhile, PPP has not submitted a name. "That alone can be said that the potential is broken, there are only two that don't need PPP. PPP hasn't given a name, that's just not found," he said.
