Indonesia President Prabowo’s first meeting with rival leader Megawati raises questions over PDI-P joining ruling coalition: Experts

Both officials shared their ideas on how to manage the current world situation because Megawati has dealt with problems before, so her knowledge is valuable, Dasco said, describing the gathering as a warm-hearted Eid al-Fitr meeting. &nbsp,

Joko” Jokowi” Widodo, Prabowo’s ancestor, officially expressed his approval of the conference.

The former leader claimed on Tuesday evening that a meeting between Prabowo and Megawati might bring about political harmony in the nation.

The interaction between Prabowo and Megawati is beneficial for the country’s well-being. According to him,” A meeting is usually better than no appointment,” as the Jakarta Post cited him as saying.

Local advertising also reported that Prabowo gave the former president a package containing big peppers, which are allegedly Megawati’s favorite. &nbsp,

Apparently, the PDI-P director was one of the many recipients who the leader gave as an Eid gift.

The largest party in the country is Megawati’s PDI-P, and it is the only big group that has not backed Prabowo’s Advance Indonesia Coalition.

Talks about the gathering have been stalled numerous times, most recently when the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) detained PDI-P secretary-general Hasto Kristiyanto, Megawati’s trusted secretary, for corruption. The arrest was viewed socially by Megawati’s group.

Julia Lau, senior fellow and representative of the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute’s Indonesia Studies Program, told CNA that the meeting had “long been planned” and that the signing of Didit Hediprasetyo, Prabowo’s only son, had made a major appearance on the day of the festival on March 31. &nbsp,

She told CNA,” It is ) a sign of respect and good conveys the need for the Prabowo-Mega meeting.” &nbsp,

Some analysts also claimed that the meeting demonstrated that both parties have distinct interests, with Megawati attempting to ensure that the impending PDI-P congress may take place in her favor while Prabowoo hoping to improve his coalition.

Jokowi was well aware of the fact that he could not run his country with a powerful force like PDI-P in opposition to his government, according to Made Supriatma, a visiting fellow from ISEAS.
