reat Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) Party chief patron Prabowo Subianto hinted on Saturday evening that the party might form a coalition with other parties.
"Our nation is diverse but yet there is common ground. Gerindra wants to work with other political parties and organizations because they have the best sons and daughters who want to fight for a better Indonesia," he said in media statement received by Antara news agency on Sunday.
The statement was made in a political speech made in Bandung to mark the party's sixth anniversary.
Prabowo also told all Gerindra members to cooperate with those of other parties.
He added that although many people were disappointed with the performance of political parties, it was impossible to run the country without politicians.
"Political parties have a role to provide suggestions for the development of Indonesia. The people, however, still have the sovereignty and power," he said.
"It is the people who will decide through the general elections." (nvn)
