JAKARTA - Deputy General Chairperson (Waketum) of the National Awakening Party (PKB) Jazilul Fawaid revealed the contents of the meeting of PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin) with Gerindra Chairman Prabowo Subianto on Thursday, August 8 evening.

Jazilul said, Cak Imin and Prabowo stated that the agreement between the two parties would cooperate in the 2024 Pilkada investigation.

"Everything is being discussed. Right, there are considerations and processes from the branch and the Pilkada desk. Everything is first listened to by the process," explained Jazilul.

So far, PKB has announced that it will carry Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta Pilkada. Meanwhile, Gerindra together with the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) projected the investigation of Ridwan Kamil.
