PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu said his meeting with PSI general chairman Kaesang Pangarep broke the assumption that there were no common ground between the two parties. It is known that PKS and PSI were hot during the 2017 Pilkada.

"It is a joy and pride for us to receive guests from PSI who are directly led by the general chairman, namely Mas Kaesang Pangarep. Of course this is the beginning to dismiss as if there has never been a common ground between PKS and PSI," said Syaikhu during a press conference, Monday, July 8.

Syaikhu revealed, in the warm discussion this afternoon PKS and PSI met many common ground and agreements in an effort to build the nation in the future. Especially coalition cooperation in the upcoming 2024 Pilkada.

"For example, we will follow up, cooperation in the fields of sports, youth, the environment, and also women. So that this will be a concrete result of this meeting, and hopefully this will also be conveyed by contributions to our nation and country," said Syaikhu. "Of course we both realize that soon we will enter the months in the election contestation, and this will also be a concern for us. We will also be able to collaborate in efforts to win regional heads and deputy regional heads," he continued.

Syaikhu is grateful that PKS and PSI have been involved in cooperation in the Lebak Pilkada and Banten Pilkada. The cooperation, he said, would continue in other areas.

"God willing, we PKS as candidates for regent and deputy from PSI. Hopefully, we will also try to find other meeting points together, we will inventory them so that in the future there will also be cooperation in efforts to accommodate both regional heads and deputy regional heads," said Syaikhu.
