INFOKU, BLORA –In the last presidential election there were 3 coalition names, namely the Change Coalition, the Advanced Indonesia Coalition and the PDIP Coalition.
It seems that the wrong axis of the coalition of political parties (political parties) is starting to emerge on the surface ahead of the 2024 Regional Head Election ( Pilkada ) .
Even though there has not been an official declaration, there are already three political parties, namely PKB , Nasdem and PKS, which have intensively established communication and are confident of forming a coalition.
DPC PKB Blora Abdul Hakim said in a press statement that with Nasdem's recommendation to nominate Arief Rohman to run for the regional elections, it was certain that the party led by Surya Paloh would form a coalition with PKB.
Apart from that, there is the PKS party which has also been communicating intensely. ''Nasdem's recommendations from the center will of course be a coalition. "PKS has also communicated intensively," he said.

So, it is estimated that one axis of this coalition appears to be solid. Especially during the presidential election a few months ago, the three parties were in one coalition.
Hakim said that his party was still opening up space for communication with the Gerindra and Golkar parties.
Also PDIP, which previously became a sub-district head tandem in 2020.
"We are still communicating, looking at opportunities to form coalitions with other parties," he stressed.
Regarding whether the deputy mayor will be taken from within the party or from outside the party, he admitted that he has not yet decided.
"There has been no intensive discussion regarding the Bacawabup, we are still focusing on the recommendations of Bacabup Mr. Arief Rohman," he said.
Chairman of the DPD PKS Blora, Susanto Budi Susetyo, confirmed that he had communicated intensively ahead of this year's regional elections.
Internal party discussions so far have also focused on Arief Rohman being brought forward for regional elections.
Budi said that after seeing the political map in the region and discussing it at a meeting at the DPW level, he was more inclined to carry the name Arief Rohman. His party is still waiting for the official recommendation from the central leadership to the DPD PKS Blora.
"Most likely yes (a coalition), but it's still not final," he said.
Separately, the Chairman of the DPD Nasdem Blora, Sri Sudarmini, could not yet confirm the coalition axis that was connected with the PKB. Because he is still in Jakarta and just returned to Blora today (6/6).
It is known that PKB won eleven seats in the 2024 legislative elections and Nasdem won five seats.
This number is more than enough to carry Arief Rohman forward in the regional election contestation. ( Endah/ IST )
