Jakarta, CNNIndonesia —

Chairman of the DPP PKBFaisol Reza hopes that the general chairman of Golkar Airlangga Hartarto could become the winning team for Prabowo Subianto and Muhaimin Iskandar in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).

The statement was made by Faisol in response to Golkar’s suggestion that its general chairman be Prabowo’s companion. Golkar and PKB recently agreed to support Prabowo as a presidential candidate.

“We are happy if Mr. Airlangga becomes the head of the Winning Team,” said Faisol in Central Jakarta, Wednesday (10/5).

When asked whether the winning team meant for Prabowo and Muhaimin Iskandar, Faisol confirmed. He said his party still supports Muhaimin running in the presidential election.

“Can [tim pemenangan Prabowo-Cak Imin],” Faisol said.

Head of the Election Winning Body (Bappilu) of the President of the Golkar Party Nusron Wahid said that the discourse on forming a grand coalition is currently proposing Prabowo Subianto as a presidential candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election.

With this proposal, he wants the chairman of the Golkar Party, Airlangga Hartarto, to become Prabowo’s running mate. Nusron explained that the two names would represent the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) and the Great Indonesia Awakening Coalition (KKIR).

However, according to him, the proposal must first be accepted by PKB and PAN. The last party, according to Nusron, will also join the grand coalition.

“One of the proposals is that Prabowo is president, and his vice president from KIB is Airlangga Hartarto,” said Nusron.
