JAKARTA - The Greater Indonesia Awakening Coalition (KKIR) initiated by the Gerindra Party and PKB has not yet determined the presidential candidates (candidates) and vice presidential candidates (cawapres) to be promoted in the 2024 presidential election.
Although previously the two political parties had targeted that announcements regarding the name of the presidential and vice presidential candidates would be made before the month of Ramadan at the end of March.
Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Party, Budisatrio Djiwandono, said that his party continues to nominate General Chair Prabowo Subianto as a presidential candidate in 2024. He said, so far the General Chairperson of PKB Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin has become the strongest vice presidential candidate to accompany Prabowo.
"We think Mr. Muhaimin Iskandar is a strong candidate to become Mr. Prabowo's vice president," said Budi at the Parliament complex, Senayan, Central Jakarta, Thursday, February 16.
Budi said that his party would carefully analyze and calculate Prabowo's candidate for assistant in 2024.
"We analyzed, observed, and calculated carefully regarding the prospective companions of Pak Prabowo," he said.
Nevertheless, Budi emphasized that Gerindra and PKB had made a political agreement related to the coalition. In the agreement, Prabowo and Cak Imin will determine the presidential and vice presidential candidates.
"We uphold the agreement, and in accordance with what has been stated in the agreement regarding the presidential and vice presidential candidates, it will be determined simultaneously between Pak Prabowo as chairman of Gerindra and Mr. Muhaimin Iskandar who always knocks on PKB," he said.
According to him, the name of the presidential and vice presidential candidates that will be carried out by the Gerindra-PKB coalition will be decided when the time has come.
"It will both be determined by Pak Prabowo and Cak Imin. I think in time it will be discussed seriously and decided," said Budi.
