JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Secretary General of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), M Kholid, announced that the party has decided not to propose a name for vice-presidential candidate to replace the 14th Vice President, Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

Kholid emphasized that PKS respects the parties supporting President Prabowo Subianto since the 2024 Presidential Election.

Although in the 2024 presidential election, PKS is backing Anies Baswedan alongside Nasdem and PKB.

"PKS will not propose one of its cadres for the vice-presidential candidacy. We respect the authority of President Prabowo and also our political party friends who supported the previous 2024 presidential election," Kholid told Kompas.com on Sunday (15/11/2026).

Kholid stated that the proposal for a vice-presidential candidate falls under the rights and authority of President Prabowo.

He noted that Prabowo understands the needs best and who can best assist him in leading Indonesia.

"In principle, whoever figure he proposes to the MPR as vice president, we hope it's someone with integrity, capacity, and acceptability. Thus, we can maintain political stability and ensure the effective running of the government and President Prabowo's work programs until the end of his term in 2029," he added.

Names in the Running

Several names have begun to emerge as candidates to replace Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

These names come from various political backgrounds, including party chairpersons, leaders of the House of Representatives, and government officials.

Several party representatives have mentioned figures who they believe could be potential running mates for President Prabowo Subianto.

In addition, some names have also surfaced following political party politicians expressing their aspirations or responding to the issue of the vice president's replacement, including:
