PDIP Emphasizes Coalition with the People: Hasto Kristiyanto's Statement

A significant political event in Indonesia has drawn considerable attention from analysts. The Secretary General of PDIP, Hasto Kristiyanto, made a definitive statement regarding the initiative to form a permanent coalition among political parties supporting the government. According to Kristiyanto, a true coalition is not merely an elite political agreement but a partnership with the people. This view reflects PDIP’s belief that political power originates from and is for the people. This position was declared after participating in the ‘Soekarno Run 2026’ in Jakarta on Sunday. Kristiyanto emphasized the importance of addressing the genuine needs of citizens rather than using public opinion surveys as tools to justify power and create a ‘bandwagon effect.’
