PKB Admits It Matches PDI-P, But Hasn't Explored A 2024 Coalition

JAKARTA - PKB admits there is compatibility with PDIP to establish cooperation in welcoming the 2024 General Election. Deputy Chairperson of PKB Jazilul Fawaid said his party is still good friends with the party chaired by Megawati Soekarnoputri.

"It's good, we've been friends (with PDIP). PKB is friends with anyone, with PDIP to this day good. The relationship is good, especially the coalition with Pak Jokowi," said Jazilul to reporters, Wednesday, July 13.

Jazilul also welcomed the plan of PDIP DPP Chair Puan Maharani to conduct a political safari with political parties, including the PKB.

“Good, a step forward. We are waiting for Ms. Puan," he said.

However, regarding the exploration of a coalition, Jazilul admitted that there was no such agreement with Gerindra. However, he said, PKB always seeks cooperation with any party, including PDIP.

"No, not yet (the coalition) exists. It's just that the agreement is open for other parties to join in working together," said Jazilul.

PKB, continued Jazilul, also continues to communicate with other political parties, not only PDIP and Gerindra.

"We and PKS we call, the Democrats call, and the PDI-P can call. But it's not necessarily specific about the coalition and the presidential election," he concluded.
