JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The chairmen of three political parties in the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) met together, but have yet to find common ground. They discussed the presidential and vice-presidential candidates to be nominated in the 2024 presidential election. Negotiations within the KIB were allegedly tough because each party has its own candidate to run in the 2024 presidential election.
KIB still needs a follow-up meeting to come up with a decision. At the same time, KIB continues to strive to form a grand coalition.
