Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) DPP Puan Maharani spoke about the plan to meet PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri and Gerindra Party Chair Prabowo Subianto. This opportunity is claimed to be open to occur. "Yes, there will be a meeting between Megawati and Prabowo, God willing," Puan told reporters at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, September 10. However, Puan did not answer firmly when the moment was. Including the possibility of the meeting being held before the inauguration of the president and his deputy on October 20. "God willing. If it's time, media friends will know," said the chairman of the DPR RI. Puan said the discussion between these two figures could discuss many things. No exception, the opportunity for cooperation between PDIP and the Prabowo government. "Silaturahmi is important. There will be a meeting, God willing, yes. That there will be talks there (about the coalition, ed). We'll just have to wait," said Puan. Meanwhile, regarding the opportunity for PDIP to enter the Prabowo-Gibran Rakabuming Raka cabinet, Puan did not want to make assumptions. Moreover, the meeting between Megawati and Prabowo was actually only limited to friendship which was also often held by party elites. "We are still going too far (discussing the cabinet, ed) and we have done communication. I also often meet Pak Prabowo at Pak Prabowo's events. So yes, always communicate, always stay in touch," he explained. Previously reported, Secretary General of the Gerindra Party Ahmad Muzani gave a signal of an open meeting between the general chairman of his party, Prabowo Subianto and PDIP General Chair Megawati in the near future. Moreover, the two of them had a chance to greet back. This started with his meeting with Megawati at an event held at the MPR RI, Monday, September 9. He said that during the meeting, Megawati had left greetings to Prabowo which were then replied. "Mrs. Mega conveyed greetings to Mr. Prabowo and Mr. Prabowo also conveyed greetings to Mrs. Mega," said Muzani at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, September 9.

From there, Muzani then gave a signal that there would be a meeting between the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia and Prabowo. "Anyway, God willing, it will happen before the inauguration," he concluded.
