Gerindra Welcomes Mega-Prabowo Duet Option Volume II in 2024

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia

Party Deputy Chairperson Gerindra, Habiburokhman, said that all the options for the presidential and vice presidential candidate pairs that will be carried by his party in the Presidential Election (presidential election) 2024 is still open.

Including, according to him, the duet of the Chairperson of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), Megawati Soekarnoputri with the general chairman of her party, Prabowo Subianto. He stated that Gerindra would consider the proposals submitted by the community.

“I think all options are still open, we will accommodate proposals from the community, we will think about it,” said the figure who is familiarly called Habib to reporters at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta on Monday (7/6).

He said Gerindra cadres still want Prabowo to re-run in the 2024 presidential election. However, according to him, it will depend on Prabowo’s willingness to run in the 2024 presidential election or not.

Regarding communication with other political parties, according to Habib, Gerindra continues to do so in the context of nationalism.

The member of Commission III of the DPR RI also said that Gerindra did not face any obstacles to communicating with all political parties, ranging from PDIP, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), to the National Awakening Party (PKB).

“Of course, in the context of the national platform, we have very good cooperation, with PDIP and with all other parties, we don’t have any psychological problems with the current political parties,” Habib said.

“For example, with Democrats, PKS, PPP, NasDem, PKB, all of our relations are good, yes, both in parliament and in government,” he added.

Megawati-Prabowo was a pair of presidential and vice presidential candidates in the 2009 presidential election. At that time, the Megawati-Prabowo pair only got 26.79 percent of the votes and lost to the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY)-Boediono pair who got 60.8 percent of the votes.

Prabowo’s name is still included in the 2024 presidential candidate exchange. He, together with Ganjar Pranowo, and Anies Baswedan occupy the top three positions in the 2024 presidential candidate survey conducted by the Indonesian Political Parameter Survey. This position was achieved with the record that Joko Widodo did not participate again in the 2024 presidential election.

The survey was conducted to 1,200 respondents via telepol on May 23-28, 2021 with a margin of error of around 2.9 percent at a 95 percent confidence level.

Prabowo obtained an electability of 18.3 percent. This percentage decreased compared to a similar survey conducted by Indonesian Political Parameters in February 2021. At that time, the defense minister and general chairman of Gerindra pocketed 22.1 percent of the respondents’ votes.
