Gerindra Party leader Prabowo Subianto is looking increasingly likely to contest the 2024 presidential election as his party works to seal a coalition deal with the National Awakening Party (PKB), the nation’s largest Muslim-based party.

The 70-year-old politician is the only party leader with a viable chance against Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo and Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan, who are still seeking official support from political parties to join the election.

With the PKB’s support, Gerindra is set to field Prabowo in 2024 — his third attempt at the presidency after losing twice to President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo in 2014 and 2019.
