AMBON - Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB) Muhaimin Iskandar said his party was continuing to finalize the exploration of a coalition with the Gerindra party in facing the 2024 election.

"Consolidation for the coalition that has been explored with Gerindra will be further matured," said Muhaimin on the sidelines of the Maluku PKB DPW Regional Working Conference (Mukerwil), in Ambon, reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, August 3.

The exploration of the coalition, according to Muhaimin, who is familiarly called Cak Imin, will be finalized through a number of jointly developed programs.

"Talks about the coalition plan are still being carried out through intense meetings and communication. Most of the high-ranking officials meet for maturation," he said.

The joint program will be made after the two political parties officially register themselves as participants in the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) on Monday (8/8). The decision to register on the same day also illustrates the intimacy between PKB and Gerindra.

Meanwhile, the plan for a coalition with other parties, the Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives, stated that it is possible to do it. "There is still 1.5 years of opportunity to invite other political parties for a joint coalition," he said.

Regarding the positions of the presidential and vice presidential candidates, Gus Muhaimin stated that the matter had not been discussed because it was technical in nature and had a long time to come.

He also stated that the much support given to me became an encouragement to run for the leadership of the nation in the next five years.

"The various supports that have been given, including from various components in Maluku, have motivated me to work even harder for the progress of the nation. From Maluku, we welcome a more just, prosperous and prosperous Indonesia," said Muhaimin.

Muhaimin was in Ambon City for the declaration and inauguration of the Regional Manager of the Alumni Association of the Indonesian Islamic Student Movement (PW IKA PMIII) Maluku Region, as well as the Women of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) of Maluku Province, as well as opening the Maluku PKB Mukerwil DPW.
