For his third bid, Prabowo's party, Gerindra, formed a coalition with the National Awakening Party on 18 June 2022. The coalition was named the Great Indonesia Awakening Coalition (Indonesian : Koalisi Kebangkitan Indonesia Raya, abbrev: KKIR).

[2] On 23 January 2023, the coalition joint secretariat was inaugurated. [3]

On 28 August 2023, the coalition was renamed to Advanced Indonesia Coalition (Indonesian : Koalisi Indonesia Maju, abbrev: KIM), [4] having a similar name to his previous rival Joko Widodo's coalition, the Onward Indonesia Coalition (Indonesian : Koalisi Indonesia Maju, abbrev: KIM). Muhaimin Iskandar, chairman of National Awakening Party, unaware of this change, concluded that KKIR is now technically disbanded on 29 August 2023. [5] Then, the National Awakening Party withdrew their supports to Prabowo Subianto on 1 September 2023, [6] and instead, declared support for his rival, Anies Baswedan, with Muhaimin Iskandar declared as Anies Baswedan's running mate for vice president by joining the rival Coalition of Change for Unity (Indonesian : Koalisi Perubahan untuk Persatuan, abbrev: KPP) on 2 September 2023. [7] [8]

Running mate

[11] Following the Constitutional Court of Indonesia's controversial ruling in October, Joko Widodo's son and mayor of Surakarta Gibran Rakabuming Raka received Golkar's endorsement as Prabowo's running mate. [12] On 22 October 2023, Prabowo officially announced that Gibran would become his running mate. [13]
