PDIP: Mega-Prabowo Meeting in the Interest of the Nation”/>
PDIP DPP Chairman Said Abdullah emphasized that the planned meeting between PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri and Gerindra Party General Chair Prabowo Subianto was not for the purpose of supporting each other.
“It’s not a matter of supporting each other, because this is indeed the result of the leadership of both Mrs. Megawati and Mr. Prabowo Subianto. It’s in the interests of the nation, so they will definitely meet,” said Said at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday (10/9/2024).
The chairman of the DPR Budget Agency (Banggar) also asked that it not be concluded that Prabowo and Gibran Rakabuming Raka would join the government coalition.
“Don’t be drawn into joining and not joining, the most important thing is the meeting of these two national figures,” said Said.
Previously, PDIP DPP Chair Puan Maharani responded to the planned meeting between Megawati Soekarnoputri and Prabowo Subianto. The meeting was reportedly before the inauguration of the president and vice president-elect on October 20, 2024.
“God willing,” said Puan at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
Puan has not revealed the exact time of the meeting. The DPR Speaker asked for patience. “Yes, later when the time comes, media friends will definitely know,” said Puan. (Fah/P-3)

PDIP DPP Chairman Clarifies Purpose of Mega-Prabowo Meeting
In a recent statement, PDIP DPP Chairman Said Abdullah emphasized that the planned meeting between PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri and Gerindra Party General Chair Prabowo Subianto is not intended to support each other’s interests. Instead, the meeting aims to serve the interests of the nation as a whole.
According to Said Abdullah, the meeting between Megawati and Prabowo is a natural consequence of their leadership and is therefore necessary to discuss matters of national importance [[3]]. This clarification comes amidst speculation about the potential implications of the meeting, with some critics suggesting that Prabowo’s Gerindra Party may join the government coalition.
However, Said Abdullah has dispelled such rumors, stating that the meeting’s purpose is not to discuss coalition membership, but rather to address pressing national issues. He urged observers not to jump to conclusions about Prabowo and Gibran Rakabuming Raka joining the government coalition, emphasizing that the meeting’s primary goal is to facilitate dialogue between the two leaders.
This development comes on the heels of a hotly contested Indonesian presidential election, in which Prabowo emerged victorious and is set to take office in the near future [[1]]. The meeting between Megawati and Prabowo is seen as a significant development in the aftermath of the election, with many observers eager to see how the two leaders will work together to address Indonesia’s pressing challenges.
Interestingly, Prabowo’s presidential campaign has been marked by controversy, with critics accusing him of engaging in pork-barrel politics to secure the support of various political parties [[1]]. Despite these allegations, Prabowo has maintained a strong political presence, and his meeting with Megawati is seen as a key test of his ability to work collaboratively with other political leaders.
In a related development, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) has named Mahfud MD, a prominent figure from the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), as a potential candidate for a senior government position [[2]]. This move has been seen as a strategic play by the PDI-P to counterbalance Prabowo’s political influence and ensure that the interests of the party are represented in the incoming government.
As Indonesia navigates the complex landscape of post-election politics, the meeting between Megawati and Prabowo is likely to be closely watched by observers both domestically and internationally. With the country facing numerous challenges, including economic growth, social inequality, and political reform, the ability of these two leaders to work together will be crucial in setting the tone for Indonesia’s future direction.
the planned meeting between PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri and Gerindra Party General Chair Prabowo Subianto is a significant development in Indonesian politics, with far-reaching implications for the country’s future. As the two leaders prepare to meet, observers will be watching closely to see how they will work together to address Indonesia’s pressing challenges and shape the country’s future trajectory.
