JAKARTA - The NasDem Party moved quickly to join the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka government after the determination of the president and vice-elect of the 2024 General Election.

PKS Secretary General Aboe Bakar Al Habsyi assessed that the General Chairperson of the NasDem Party, Surya Paloh, is a figure who is good at politics. This saw NasDem's maneuver which immediately moved closer to the Prabowo coalition after his presidential and vice presidential candidates, Anies-Muhaimin officially lost the 2024 presidential election.

"What is clear is that NasDem, Pak Surya, is that our seniors are the most beautiful in playing politics and are mature," said Aboe at the PKB DPP, Central Jakarta, Thursday, April 25 evening.

In fact, PKS is interested in following NasDem's political steps in the future. However, Aboe said that his party still needed advice from Surya Paloh.

"If there is the best way, we will follow it. We just need to hear advice but we haven't heard about it yet," he said.

The attitude of PKS which is starting to be tempted to join the Prabowo coalition is shown in the plan for a halal bihalal event at the PKS DPP office, Jalan TB Simatupang, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta on Saturday, April 27. A number of leaders of political parties were invited to the event.

Aboe said PKS also invited Prabowo to the gathering after the month of Ramadan was over. In fact, PKS will roll out a red carpet if Prabowo is present.

"Hopefully if Pak Prabowo comes, we will also give him a red carpet. As the winning president, we will welcome him, yes," he said.

Aboe views that if Prabowo attended halalbihalal, it could bring PKS in strengthening his political stance in the future.

What is clear is that PKS has expressed its readiness to join the government of Prabowo and Gibran Rakabuming Raka as President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia 2024-2029.

"This PKS is most prepared with all the situations. Want to be outside, task from the inside out, assigned to the inside, we are ready. It's just a matter of the atmosphere of the dialogue later," said Aboe.
