JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party specifically invited Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa (PKB) Party to come to the closing ceremony of Rapimnas at SICC Bogor, West Java, Saturday, August 13.

This invitation is to confirm the General Chairperson of the Gerindra Party, Prabowo Subianto, as a presidential candidate for 2024 which has been agreed upon by 34 DPD throughout Indonesia on Friday, August 12, night.

Today's Rapimnas is also to agree on the Gerindra-PKB coalition which will be inaugurated by the signing of the coalition declaration charter by Prabowo Subianto and Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin.

Secretary General of the Gerindra Party, Ahmad Muzani, ensured that all Gerindra and PKB cadres would unite at today's momentum.

"Everyone will unite with Gerindra and PKB cadres", said Muzani, Friday, August 12.

Regarding the vice presidential candidate, Muzani emphasized that the coalition would discuss it further. The process, he said, would take place today.

"I can't go ahead because the process will take place tomorrow (today, ed)", he said.

Meanwhile, PKB welcomes Prabowo's willingness to be re-nominated as a presidential candidate in 2024. PKB also appreciates the invitation and the coalition declaration plan at the Gerindra Rapimnas event.

Deputy Chairperson of the PKB, Jazilul Fawaid, said his party had a lot of compatibility with the Gerindra Party led by Prabowo Subianto. The two parties, according to him, will complement each other if they form a coalition.

"The PKB-Gerindra is getting closer and more intimate, even though the two parties have no experience in coalitions in the presidential election", Jazilul said in his statement, Saturday, August 13.
