Pdi P News Today

The NasDem party, which backed a competing presidential candidate, said it was ready to pledge its “full support” for the ex-general’s administration.

A senior official confirmed that Joko Widodo lost his membership after refusing to endorse its presidential candidate in February’s election.

How did an ex-general with such a controversial past manage to scale the pinnacle of Indonesian politics?

A senior party officials says that the election, which was won decisively by Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto, was tainted by “abuse of power.”

JAKARTA: The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) signalled on Thursday (Feb 15) it would be taking up the role of an opposition party to the future government, as presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto appeared poised to succeed President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo.

Cast into opposition for the first time in two decades, the PDI-P has a critical role to play as a check on the incoming administration’s power.

Coalitions that support his presidential rivals have together secured more seats in the legislature than his alliance.

The country’s second-most populous province is also a stronghold of the country’s largest and most influential Islamic organization, Nahdlatul Ulama.

The growing estrangement between the Indonesian president and the party that he represented at the past two presidential elections could shape the country’s future political trajectory.

The comments from Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo follow the appointment of President Joko Widodo’s son as their rival’s vice presidential running mate.
