JAKARTA - Three political parties that are members of the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB), namely the Golkar Party, PAN and PPP have officially registered as participants in the 2024 General Election to the Indonesian KPU.

In today's registration, the chairman of Golkar, Airlangga Hartarto, the chairman of PAN, Zulkifli Hasan, and the chairman of the PPP, Suharso Monoarfa, were present together at 10.10 WIB.

It is said that KIB will nominate an internal figure in the 2024 presidential election. The issue is that Airlangga Hartarto will become a presidential candidate, KIB only has to choose a vice presidential candidate.

Then, is it true that Airlangga will be nominated as a presidential candidate from KIB in 2024?

In response to this, PPP Chairman Suharso Monoarfa asked the public to wait for the official declaration from KIB.

"The presidential candidate declaration is waiting for the time to be patient," said Suharso at the KPU Building, Jakarta, Wednesday, August 10.

The Minister of Bappenas revealed that KIB will hold an event in Surabaya on 14 August.

However, Suharso did not clearly explain whether the KIB presidential candidate would be announced at the event. He only said that KIB would convey its vision and mission at the event in the city of heroes.

"In Surabaya, we will convey the vision and mission. We will convey the programs that we excel at, which we offer to the Indonesian people, to the voters. And as previously stated by Mr. Zul and Mr. Airlangga in the future we want to present an intelligent election, the general election That doesn't divide, then it's not A or B, right and left, we want something that is inclusive, and I said smart elections are what we want," said Suharso.

Suharso said that until now KIB had not invited President Joko Widodo to the vision and mission presentation in Surabaya. This is because the plan has only been discussed internally by the coalition.

"No, we haven't been invited yet. This is just between us," he said.
