The 2024 Presidential Election Is Predicted To Be Filled With 3 Coalition Axis

JAKARTA - Director of IndoStrategi Research and Consulting, Arif Nurul Imam, predicts that there will be three coalition axes or at least three pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates in the 2024 presidential election.

The first coalition axis is the United Indonesia Coalition. With a record that the coalition initiated by Golkar, PAN and PPP remains consistent.

The second axis is predicted to be initiated by the NasDem Party, which is likely to cooperate with the Democratic Party and PKS. Meanwhile, the third axis is predicted to be led by PDIP which will embrace Gerindra.

"I think the PDI-P will remain in a coalition, even though the administrative requirements have met if they will nominate their own partner," Arif said in a written statement, Friday, May 20.

"If it doesn't form a coalition, the PDI-P will be in trouble regarding the figures to be nominated and also challenges in Parliament in the future," continued Arif.

As for the PKB's position, Arif assessed that the party led by Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin had not yet shown its political direction. However, he predicts PKB will join the coalition formed by PDIP and Gerindra.

"The tendency of the PKB to form a coalition with the PDI-P. The question of the figure of the presidential and vice presidential candidates will certainly be seen along with the political lobby. Because in these three political parties all want to advance, such as Puan Maharani, Prabowo Subianto and Muhaimin Iskandar," explained Arif.
