JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the PKS Syuro Council, Sohibul Iman, revealed that his party will hold a meeting with the NasDem Party on Wednesday, June 22, tomorrow.
Sohibul said that the arrival of PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu and his staff would be welcomed directly by the General Chairperson of NasDem, Surya Paloh.
"God willing, we will meet with the leadership of NasDem, we have already communicated with Willy's brother who is already there. Mr. Surya Paloh will later be greeted on Wednesday afternoon," said Sohibul on the sidelines of the PKS National Meeting, Jakarta, Monday, June 20.
Although the discussion at the meeting discussed the 2019 presidential election, Sohibul said, PKS did not immediately declare itself to be in a coalition with NasDem. Because he said, PKS would first align its vision and mission with the party created by Surya Paloh before being discussed in the syuro assembly.
"I think our discussion on Wednesday, of course, will not go straight to cas plong, yes we are in a coalition. I said at PKS it was the determination of the coalition with whom, who brought who was the syuro assembly. Therefore, this is a political communication process to be able to equalize , a kind of sound check, equalizing perception, frequency," explained Sohibul.
"That (meeting) became our input in the syuro assembly. If it turns out that the result of the syuro assembly that communication with Nasdem, with all its substance, turns out to be conducive, we may decide to then form a coalition with NasDem," he added.
Previously, the NasDem Party stated that it would immediately conduct political communication with various parties to be able to build a coalition after announcing the names of three presidential candidates (candidates) as a result of the National Working Meeting (Rakernas).
"The reason we announced the presidential candidate first is that we are well aware that the main magnet in building a coalition is the presidential candidate," said NasDem DPP chairman Willy Aditya, Saturday, June 18.
Willy said that next week NasDem will hold a meeting with other political parties to discuss the formation of a coalition. The three names for the presidential candidates announced by NasDem, said Willy, received positive responses from other political parties.
"We have received several calls, next Wednesday we will meet with one of the political parties to discuss the continuation of the direction of the coalition," said Willy.
