JAKARTA - The new National Awakening Party (PKB) will state its stance to join the Prabowo-Gibran government or be outside, after October 20, 2024.

The statement was made by the Deputy Chairperson of the PKB, Jazilul Fawaid, Thursday, April 25. According to him, the official position of the PKB regarding whether to be in the government or not, will only be ignored after the inauguration of the elected president and vice president on October 20, 2024.

According to him, the cabinet was only formed after the inauguration. After the inauguration of the elected president and vice president, PKB will know whether to get a ministerial seat offer or not. "Persis, the business with (chases) ministers is when a president already has the prerogative," he said.

"Now Mr. Prabowo is the elected president, the winner of the presidential election, later on October 20 he will become president and head of state who has the prerogative to appoint his minister," he concluded.

Previously, PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar supported the government of the elected president and vice president Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka for the period 2024-2029.

He conveyed this when asked by the media crew after his meeting with Prabowo Subianto Wednesday (24/4/2024) yesterday, regarding whether PKB joined the government or became part of the opposition. At yesterday's meeting, Muhaimin admitted that he was ready to cooperate with Prabowo Subinto and Gerindra.

"I don't think it needs to be answered, it's a lot (can support Prabowo-Gibran)," said Muhaimin at a press conference at the PKB DPP office, Jakarta, Thursday.
