JAKARTA - Chairperson of the PDI-P (PDIP) DPP Puan Maharani said her party and the National Awakening Party (PKB) have something in common. Both often fight for the people so that they are called small people's parties.

This was conveyed by Puan after a pilgrimage with PKB General Chair Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin to the grave of Taufiq Kiemas at TMP Kalibata, South Jakarta. After visiting her father's grave, Puan had breakfast with the nephew of the 4th President of the Republic of Indonesia Abdurrahman Wahid or Gus Dur.

"If the meeting is usually at the office, at home, how come this is even at the pecel (sales, ed), yes, because the PKB and PDI-P both the party wong flip-flops, wong cilik ingrasroot," said Puan after breakfast with Cak Imin today, Sunday, September 25.

"That's how the grassroots of the PDI-P and the PKB grassroots are," he continued.

The chairman of the DPR RI said his meeting with Cak Imin went well. Moreover, the two often meet in parliament and other events and often discuss the nation's problems.

So, Puan hopes that from this meeting, it is hoped that the two parties can re-knit the cooperation.

"This meeting is a momentum that we agree that in the future we will try to find the same togetherness so that we can build a nation and state together," he said.

Meanwhile, Cak Imin said PKB and PDIP would look for the best common ground. The goal is that political cooperation can occur.

"Yes, I hope this goes on. There is still one year's journey. This can continue to start," he said.

He said politics could develop dynamically. Moreover, the 2024 presidential election is still one year away.

However, Cak Imin ensured that this meeting was the beginning of another possibility. Moreover, communication has been established.

"The name political dynamics is not impossible and will definitely open up. This meeting opens up space for both of us to always communicate," concluded Cak Imin.
