JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com- Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Grace Natalie In her view, there is nothing wrong if political parties outside the Advanced Indonesia Coalition are embraced to be part of the coalition.
Grace reasoned that the potential for political uproar must be suppressed so that the ideal of a golden Indonesia can be realized.
"Yes, the point is that everyone is invited, right, because if we continue to fight, finally to the golden Indonesia, when will it arrive?" said Grace in the Gaspol program! Kompas.com, Sunday (10/3/2024).

Grace reminded that Indonesia only has a short time to achieve this target because the demographic bonus will soon be passed,
The former PSI chairman also considered that the problem of imbalance between pro-government political parties and the opposition also did not need to worry.
She believes that it is impossible for all political parties to have a uniform mind, but what is important is that there is a concerted effort to carry out development agendas.
"It's easier to carry out development agendas if it's one vision, one direction, one movement, if not, there will be more political drama than work," Grace said.

She also believes that the percentage of seats held by government and opposition parties in parliament is determined through a natural process.
Grace said that if the government's performance is considered bad by the public, the votes obtained by the opposition party will be greater.
"If the opposition is now a small percentage, maybe because people are not satisfied with their work. So it's just a logical consequence," she said.
Previously, presidential candidate number 2 Prabowo Subianto stated that he would embrace all parties in his government in the future.
This was conveyed by Prabowo after he and his running mate Gibran Rakabuming won the 2024 presidential election quick count results.
"We will embrace all elements and all strengths. We will be president and vice president for all Indonesian people," Prabowo said at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday (14/2/2024).

Meanwhile, there are 8 political parties that joined other coalitions, namely the Nasdem Party, the National Awakening Party, the Prosperous Justice Party, and the Ummat Party which supports the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar pair.
Meanwhile, there is a coalition of Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD supporters
consisting of PDI Perjuangan, United Development Party, Indonesian Unity Party, and Hanura Party.

Soal Koalisi dan Oposisi, PSI: Kalau Berantem Terus, Indonesia Emas Kapan Sampainya?
'Ya kan intinya semua diajak (gabung Prabowo), karena kalau kita terus berantem, akhirnya menuju Indonesia emas itu ya kapan sampainya?' kata Grace.

Indonesia’s Prabowo On Brink of Parliamentary Majority After Receiving Rival Party’s Backing
The NasDem party, which backed a competing presidential candidate, said it was ready to pledge its “full support” for the ex-general’s administration.

Indonesian President-elect Prabowo Subianto looks set to receive the support of the NasDem party, which backed a rival candidate at February’s general election, moving him a step closer to securing a majority in the new parliament.
Surya Paloh, the head of the NasDem party, told reporters yesterday that the party was ready to pledge its “full support” for Prabowo’s administration, which takes office in October, Reuters reported.
Surya spoke after a meeting with Prabowo, one of several that the former general has held with rival parties in a bid to convince them to support his administration to give it a majority that will enable him to advance his agenda in parliament. NasDem was part of a coalition that backed Prabowo’s rival, Anies Baswedan, a former governor of Jakarta, in the February 14 race, and won just under 10 percent of the vote in the legislative portion of the election. According to the Reuters report, however, Surya did not explicitly say whether or not NasDem would join Prabowo’s coalition.
Speaking alongside Surya after their meeting yesterday, Prabowo said: “We agreed to work together for the interests of Indonesians as much as possible.”
Prabowo won a decisive victory at the election, clinching more than 58 percent of the vote compared to just under 25 percent of the vote for Anies, and less than 17 percent of the vote for the third candidate, Ganjar Pranowo of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P).
Prabowo has engaged in a flurry of coalition talks since Wednesday, when the General Elections Commission proclaimed Prabowo and his running mate, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s eldest son, the winners of the 2024 presidential election. This came after the Constitutional Court rejected complaints filed by the two losing candidates, who alleged that Prabowo’s victory had been tainted by fraud and state interference.
Despite the scale of this victory, the results of the concurrent parliamentary election were fragmented, with the leading party – the PDI-P – claiming just 16.7 percent of the vote. Prabowo’s Gerindra party won 13.2 percent, giving it 86 of the 580 seats in the House of Representatives, with 291 required for a majority. Prabowo’s current alliance, the Advanced Indonesia Coalition, includes eight parties holding 280 seats in the House – around 48 percent of the total. NasDem’s support would push him over the line of a majority, enabling him to enact his legislative agenda more effectively.
In addition to Prabowo’s party Gerindra, the Advanced Indonesia Coalition includes Golkar, the National Mandate Party (PAN), and the Democratic Party.
As Reuters reports, Prabowo on Wednesday met with Muhaimin Iskandar, the chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Anies’ vice-presidential running-mate. While Muhaimin agreed to work with Gerindra “to serve the interests of all our people,” Tempo made clear that the PKB “is yet to confirm whether or not it will join Prabowo’s government after the latter’s inauguration on October 20.”
According to Reuters, Gerindra has said that it plans to hold talks with political heavyweight Megawati Sukarnoputri, the matriarch of the PDI-P.
Indonesia has a recent history of broad and inclusive coalitions, and Jokowi’s current coalition includes eight of the nine parties with seats in parliament. This stems from the fact that political parties usually have weak ideological bases, allowing for swift and opportunistic realignments. Prabowo will likely seek to erect a similar big tent, in the hope of creating a strong political mandate for his policy agenda, which is expected to carry on Jokowi’s developmentalist focus.
Speaking at a ceremony where he was confirmed as the election winner on Wednesday, Prabowo, promised to fight for all Indonesians and called for the country’s political elites to cooperate with his administration.
“I will prove that I will fight for all Indonesians, including those who did not vote for me,” Prabowo said. “If Indonesia wants to survive, becoming a prosperous country, all elites must work together. If we dare to leave our differences aside, let’s leave our feelings, let’s find our love for the country, let’s sacrifice together for our people.”
