JAKARTA - Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB) Muhaimin Iskandar feels the same fate as the Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri about the efforts of certain parties who want to take over her political party. Cak Imin meant party is the Nahdlatul Ulama Executive Board (PBNU). Towards the end of the DPP management for the 2019-2024 period, PKB is considered PBNU to have deviated from the teachings of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). PBNU also wants to evaluate PKB. "Yes, the public can already assess the desire of some people at PBNU to ride to PKB," said Cak Imin at the Darul Rahman Islamic Boarding School, South Jakarta, Thursday, August 15. Cak Imin emphasized that PKB and PBNU are two different entities where PKB was established based on Law (UU) Number 2 of 2011 concerning Political Parties. Meanwhile, PBNU was founded based on Law Number 17 of 2013 concerning Community Organizations. Thus, the Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives asked PBNU not to interfere in PKB's internal affairs. "We have a constitution. Let's use each other's constitutional rights, use the Political Party Law, use the Ormas Law. I ask that if there are various kinds of things, return to the constitution," he said. PDIP Perjuangan General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri previously said that she would again hold the top leadership of this party. This is not without reason. According to Mega, heard that there are parties who want to take PDIP. This was emphasized on the sidelines of the announcement of candidates for regional heads at the district/city level and governors, for the first batch at the PDIP DPP office. Initially, Megawati said that she was 77 years old and wanted to spend a lot of time with her great-grandson. At that age, Megawati should have retired. However, Mega wants to spend more time with her family. "I told Hasto, I thought first (so the chairman of the PDIP) Yes. To (Hasto), I feel like I want to also gather with this family, I was told to become a ketum again, a ketum again," said Megawati.

After saying this, Megawati then mentioned that there were parties who wanted to take the PDIP. "That's how someone wants to take PDIP too. Gile! Now reporters write, Gile journalists. I want to retire, I have great-grandson right, oh my great-grandson, it's really funny. Eh, as soon as you hear this (PDIP) it will be taken, I want to be the general chairman again, hahaha. It's cool, isn't it true," Mega said to the applause of the cadres.
