PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu handed over the decision of the candidate for deputy president (cawapres) Anies Baswedan in the 2024 election to each political party (parpol) that is part of the Change Coalition, namely the NasDem Party and the Democratic Party.

"We will hand it over to the presidential candidate later, although maybe later each political party can give their rights, who can get the best input according to the party," said Syaikhu, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, May 23.

After that, he continued, each party could provide input regarding the best vice presidential figure to accompany Anies Baswedan. He said it was possible that Anies could determine the vice presidential candidate.

On the other hand, Syaikhu strives to keep the Change Coalition solid amid exposure to various information that can divide.

"We want to make sure that this coalition remains solid and can carry the presidential and vice presidential candidates because what is already there is only a presidential candidate," he said.
