JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): The United Indonesia Coalition (KIB), one of the first political party alliances to be formed ahead of the 2024 general election, says it is committed to sticking together until the election while keeping open the option of nominating a popular political outsider as a presidential candidate.

In a symbolic move demonstrating their solidity, members of the coalition — the Golkar Party, the National Mandate Party (PAN) and the United Development Party (PPP) — marched together to the General Elections Commission (KPU) headquarters in Jakarta on Wednesday (Aug 10) and signed up their parties for the election.
