JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party and PKB officially collide in the 2024 General Election. How will the relationship between Gerindra and the PDI-P (PDIP) have an impact in the future?

After the 2019 presidential election, Gerindra and PDIP again showed their intimacy. Several meetings between the General Chairperson of Gerindra and the PDIP General Chair Prabowo Subianto made the public think that the two would form a coalition in the next election.

However, with the formation of the Gerindra and PKB coalition, political observers from Al-Azhar University Ujang Komarudin view that the door of the Gerindra and PDIP coalition to carry presidential and vice presidential candidates will be lost, just like the 2019 elections.

"If the coalition is Gerindra and PKB before the registration of presidential candidates, it will be closed with PDIP. PDIP also doesn't seem to feel lost because it has its own attitude," said Ujang when contacted by VOI, Monday, August 15.

The dynamics of political relations like this, said Ujang, is something that can be done. Such political relations are natural because each party has its own interests.

Furthermore, according to Ujang, as the party that won the election, PDIP would not feel so lost if Gerindra made its own axis. Moreover, the number of PDIP seats in the 2019 election met the presidential nomination threshold of 20 percent.

"If the coalition pattern is like this, it looks like PDIP will go forward on its own. Then, Gerindra with PKB. Then, Golkar, PAN, and PPP in the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB). Furthermore, NasDem, PKS, and Democrats will form their own coalition," he said.

For information, the Chairperson of the Gerindra Party and General Chairperson of the PKB Muhaimin Iskandar officially signed a charter of coalition cooperation for the 2024 Presidential Election at SICC Bogor, West Java, Saturday, August 13.

The signing of the coalition charter was witnessed by thousands of Gerindra and PKB cadres from regional representatives throughout Indonesia.

The Daily Chairperson of Gerindra's DPP Sufmi Dasco Ahmad and the PKB Deputy Head Jazilul Fawaid read out the contents of the agreement.

"One, in order to realize sustainable and sustainable national development, the Gerindra and PKB parties cooperate in the 2024 simultaneous elections," said Dasco.

"Two, the cooperation between the Gerindra Party and PKB is based on a shared vision to accelerate Indonesia's development in a sovereign, just, prosperous, prosperous manner, and actively encourage the acceleration of world peace," continued Jazilul.

"Three, the cooperation between the Gerindra Party and PKB is motivated by the desire to unite the two major powers in Indonesia, namely nationalists and religious in order to avoid polarization and can open coalitions with other political parties with the agreement of both parties," Dasco said.

"Four, presidential and vice presidential candidates who will be promoted by the cooperation of political parties, the Gerindra Party and PKB, will be determined jointly by the Chairperson of the Advisory Board or General Chairperson of the Gerindra Party Prabowo Subianto, and PKB Chairman Haji Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar," Jazilul said

"Five, the cooperation agreement between the Gerindra Party and PKB is followed up with joint political work to win the agreed pair of presidential and vice presidential candidates," added Dasco.
