President Prabowo Subianto and Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri are committed to maintaining contact following their first meeting since last year’s election, a move that could lay the groundwork for closer ties between the government and the opposition party for the next five years.
Despite reports of a meeting between President Prabowo Subianto and Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) chair Megawati Soekarnoputri in her house in Jakarta on Monday evening, there has been no official confirmation.
A renewed plan for a long-awaited meeting between President Prabowo Subianto and PDI-P chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri has gained traction ahead of the opposition party congress, with analysts saying it could shape Megawati’s political future and the party’s direction for the next five years.
President Prabowo Subianto's only son, Ragowo “Didit” Hediprasetyo, visited former president Joko “Jokowi” Widodo at his private residence in Solo, Central Java, on Monday afternoon, shortly after he paid a visit to Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri.
From the outset of Prabowo Subianto’s presidency, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) was touted to play an opposition role. However, four months since he took office, the party has barely made headway in contesting any significant legislation, let alone take a firm, public stand in opposition to Prabowo.
President Prabowo Subianto’s Gerindra Party was the top choice for party switching ahead of the gubernatorial races in November of last year, largely because of its increasing dominance in national politics, a study has found.
As President Prabowo Subianto settles into power, the shift in the political landscape is becoming clearer, with he and his Gerindra Party at center stage. The party celebrated its 17th anniversary over the weekend at a congress attended by thousands of members, ministers, and former president Joko “Jokowi” Widodo.
It would do well for the Prabowo administration to take a page out of Jokowi's PR playbook on best public communications practices, lest it quickly come to be viewed as a pariah, especially following 10 years of a president who remains highly popular today.
