        "summary": "Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar, known as Cak Imin and chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB), has stated that his party will realistically back President Prabowo Subianto's bid for a second term in the 2029 presidential election, citing Prabowo's strong position. After supporting Anies Baswedan in the 2024 election, PKB has shifted to align with Prabowo's administration, with Muhaimin serving as a minister in the cabinet. While Muhaimin dismisses personal ambitions for now, a deputy party leader expressed optimism about preparing cadres, including positioning Muhaimin as a potential president or vice president, through enhanced internal development.",
        "content": "<p>General Chairman of the National Awakening Party Abdul Muhaimin\nIskandar has stated that he has no plans to run in the 2029 presidential\nand vice-presidential election. According to the Coordinating Minister\nfor Community Empowerment, PKB will support President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s\nleadership for two terms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrabowo will still run in 2029 and he will still be very strong, so\nPKB must be realistic. If Prabowo runs, he will definitely win, and we\nsupport the winner,\u201d said the politician often addressed as Cak Imin at\nthe PKB Central Executive Board office in Jakarta on Friday night, 10\nApril 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Muhaimin accompanied Anies Baswedan against two other candidate pairs\nin the 2024 election. That pair was defeated by Prabowo Subianto and\nGibran Rakabuming Raka. Now Muhaimin has led PKB to become a supporting\nparty for Prabowo and serves as a minister in the Red and White\nCabinet.<\/p>\n<p>Muhaimin only laughed when asked if he was aiming for the position to\nbecome Prabowo\u2019s running mate in the 2029 election. \u201cOh, we\u2019re not\nthinking about 2029 in terms of myself yet, the party first,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>At the PKB internal halal bihalal event yesterday, PKB Deputy General\nChairman Muhammad Hanif Dhakiri stated that the party has the aspiration\nto make Muhaimin president or vice president in 2029. To win the 2029\nGeneral Election, Hanif urged that the cadre development system in PKB\nbe optimised to grow the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a party, we are not just going to survive but in the future we\ncan continue to grow bigger, continue to achieve the targets that are\nour big goals, including making Gus Muhaimin president or vice president\nin the upcoming 2029,\u201d said Hanif in his speech.<\/p>\n<p>Hanif is optimistic that PKB can serve as a vehicle for preparing\nindividuals to become leaders in the future. The former Minister of\nManpower sees that political contests are not merely about popularity or\nlogistical completeness, but also about who is most ready to lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the empty space that PKB can perhaps fill to prepare cadres\nin various places who are truly ready to lead,\u201d said this Deputy\nChairman of Commission XI of the House of Representatives.<\/p>",
