JAKARTA - The National Awakening Party (PKB) will hold the 6th Congress on Saturday and Sunday, August 24-25, 2024. The congress is the PKB's highest decision-making forum attended by all representatives of party administrators.

Chairman of the PKB DPP Faisol Riza as Chairman of the Steering Committee of the Congress said that his party invited President Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto as elected Presidents to attend the congress.

"We invite President Pak Jokowi, we also invite Pak Prabowo. Both as General Chair of Gerindra and as President-elect," said Faisol at the PKB DPP office, Central Jakarta, Friday, August 9.

Not only that, PKB also invited all general chairmen of parties and religious leaders who had been the cultural base of the green-streamed party.

Faisol explained that the 6th Congress will be attended by 2,300 PKB cadres consisting of autonomous bodies (banoms), namely the central leadership council (DPP) and the syuro council, regional leadership councils (DPW), to branch leadership councils (DPC) throughout Indonesia.

In the congress later, PKB will follow up on the wishes of all regional party officials to branches. Where, PKB General Chair Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin) will again lead the party for the next period.

"Regarding the request to Mr. Muhaimin as the general chairman of the PKB to lead again, it has been conveyed by all branches and DPW asking for his willingness to re-lead the PKB in the upcoming government and in the upcoming DPP management," explained Faisol.

Furthermore, Faisol said PKB would decide the party's stance to join the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka government. This follows up on the aspirations of all party administrators at the regional level.

"In general, the voices of all branches and DPWs have so far wanted almost everyone to say that PKB must join the upcoming government," he said.
