JAKARTA - Gerindra Party Daily Chair Sufmi Dasco Ahmad revealed that the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) will enter the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) based on the last communication between his party and the party. "There is an option from PKS to cooperate with KIM, we have communicated with PKS several times," said Dasco when met at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Antara, Tuesday, August 13. He said the communication from the Gerindra Party to PKS was through PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu and with the PKS Syuro Council. The envoy from Gerindra was to communicate with PKS, namely Gerindra Party Secretary General Ahmad Muzani. "The discussion was carried out by Mr. Muzani, which includes, among other things, candidates and so on," said the Deputy Chairperson of the MPR RI. Meanwhile, Ahmad Muzani did not want to comment much on the contents of his communication with PKS. After Dasco conveyed the information, Muzani immediately approached Dasco and walked together to enter his office in the DPR. Earlier on Saturday (10/8) PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu admitted that he had communicated with the President-elected for the 2024 General Election, as well as the General Chair of Gerindra, Prabowo Subianto.
