on the 2019 indonesian general election, several branches of gpk in jambi and central java, led by syihabudin as the chairman of gpk, declared their support for prabowo's presidency in the election. the declaration was attended by two sons of kh. maimoen zubair, the chairman of the ppp sharia council. other members of ppp also attended the declaration, such as, humphrey djemat, bahtiar hamzah, and mudrick sangidoe. they claimed that the support was due to the "betrayal" of jokowi to romahurmuziy, the chairman of ppp. after the arrest of romahurmuziy in a corruption case, several members of jokowi's campaign team requested the removal of jokowi's face in ppp campaign banners and posters. gpk also obliged that all of their branches should support prabowo.
