JAKARTA - The Gelora Party rejects PKS, which reportedly wants to join the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka government. Gelora also brought up the view of PKS supporters if they decided to support Prabowo-Gibran.

"What do his fanatical supporters say? It seems that there is a division of attitudes between the PKS elite and its supporters," said Secretary General of the Gelora Party Mahfuz Sidik in his statement, Monday, April 29. Mahfuz then mentioned about PKS which always plays its ideological narrative against the government. Including the candidate pair number 2 in the 2024 presidential election process yesterday.

"As far as I remember, during the campaign process, many PKSs appeared very ideological narratives in attacking the figure of Prabowo-Gibran," said Mahfuz.

He then reminded the public with the narration of 'traitors' addressed to Prabowo when he decided to join the Jokowi government. "When in 2019 Prabowo Subianto decided to reconcile with Jokowi, he had many stamps as a traitor to Prabowo Subianto. Generally come from the PKS support base," said Mahfuz.
