Secretary General of the National Mandate Party (PAN) Eddy Soeparno said parties in the Greater Indonesia Awakening Coalition (KKIR) already have a candidate for vice presidential candidate (cawapres). However, they still want to hear directly from Prabowo Subianto as a supported presidential candidate (candidate).

"PAN has submitted the name Erick Thohir, Airlangga was proposed by the Golkar Party, Cak Imin was proposed by the National Awakening Party," Eddy told reporters in Jakarta, Saturday, August 26.

"Well, but to this day we don't know the criteria for Prabowo's vice president. We also deserve to hear that," he continued.

Eddy hopes that Prabowo will soon gather parties in his coalition of supporters. So, the general chairmen can sit down together to discuss the right person for him.

PAN is also certain to support every decision taken by KKIR. Because, since the beginning, Zulkifli Hasan's party has been binding on political cooperation with the Gerindra, PKB, and Golkar parties.

"Whatever will be decided later in the deliberation between the general chairmen of political parties, of course we will agree and we will carry out it," he said.

Meanwhile, Prabowo once revealed general criteria regarding his vice presidential candidate. There are several things that have been revealed, including integrity to have the ability.

Not only that, the former Danjen Kopassus also hopes that his vice presidential candidate will have the electability of the survey results.

"The most important criterion is dedication to the people, yes. Then commitment to the Pancasila of the 1945 Constitution, the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. That's the most important thing, right," Prabowo told reporters at his residence, Jalan Kertanegara, South Jakarta last April.
