JAKARTA - Chairman of the PPP Advisory Council Muhammad Romahurmuziy said building a nation does not have to be in government carriages. This was said by Romahurmuziy in response to the statement by the Chairman of the Election Winning Body (Bappilu) PPP Sandiaga Uno who said that PPP was honored to be invited to build the nation together with the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka camp. "If you say 'PPP is honored if you are invited to build the nation'. Building this nation can be in two positions'," said Romahurmuziy in a discussion on the 2045 TV YouTube channel, Thursday, February 29. According to Romahurmuziy, realizing a good government can be by balancing the institution's power through optimizing the check and balance mechanism as an opposition party. "It can be inside, or become a government balance," he said. He said that carrying out the function of checking and balance of parties outside the government is equally honorable in realizing a democratic nation. "It is both to build a nation. Both are honorable," he said.

Previously, the Chairman of Bappilu PPP Sandiaga Uno answered questions about the opportunity for his party to join the Prabowo-Gibran coalition. Sandiaga said that PPP is currently a party supporting the government and its position is in government. According to his personal views, PPP would be very honorable to be invited to build the nation. Karena sesuai dengan nama Partai Persatuan Pembangunan untuk persatuan Indonesia dan pembangunan harus ikut aktif dalam membangun bangsa. Itu pandang saya," kata Sandiaga, Senin 26 Februari.
