JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party and PKB plan to immediately declare their coalition on August 13, 2022. However, each party is still equally pushing its general chairman to become a presidential candidate. PKB is still pushing for Muhaimin Iskandar, while Gerindra unanimously supports Prabowo Subianto as a presidential candidate in 2024.
So, if you form a coalition, who will be the presidential and vice-presidential candidates?
In response to this, the General Chairperson of the PKB, Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin, emphasized that the positions of the presidential and vice presidential candidates in the Gerindra-PKB coalition would be discussed further. According to him, it is only a technical matter.
"About who and how the positions are, that's just a technical part," said Cak Imin to reporters, Thursday, August 4.
According to Cak Imin, the most important thing right now is the awareness of the coalition to build a better Indonesia. Because he said, it is a big responsibility that will be carried out by President Joko Widodo's successor.
"The important thing is that there is a determination to jointly improve Indonesia for the better," said Cak Imin.
The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives is also sure that President Jokowi will support all candidates contesting the 2024 presidential election. "Pak Jokowi definitely supports all candidates. The President must indeed approve of all of them," he said.
Regarding the possibility of other political parties joining PKB and Gerindra, Cak Imin assessed that the election process is still very long so it is very open to join.
"We can discuss and involve parties," said Cak Imin.
