JAKARTA The Democratic Party is considered to be able to return to support Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate. This is possible if the party led by Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono runs out of options or options ahead of the registration of prospective presidential and vice presidential candidates.

The Executive Director of the Syndicate, Ari Nurcahyo, revealed that the potential return of the Democrats to support Anies could not be separated from the confusing position of the Democrats. According to him, small Democrats are close to the Prabowo Subianto coalition because they cannot carry military and military pairs.

In addition, so far Prabowo has seemed to be running smoothly with the Golkar Party and PAN. The position of a Democrat if he joins, will be like PKB which eventually changes its axis because it does not guarantee the position of vice president.

Meanwhile, if you join the Ganjar Pranowo axis with the PDI-P, there are other issues that are no less complicated, namely to sit Megawati Soekarnoputri and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Although Puan Maharani and AHY have met, Megawati and SBY's situation is considered to have not melted.

Therefore, Ari considered that it was not impossible that the Democratic Party would eventually return to the axis of the Change Coalition. "It could be that if there is no choice to return to Anies," he said, Sunday (3/9).

As is known, the Democratic Party High Council Meeting decided to withdraw Anies Baswedan's mandate as a presidential candidate after the disclosure of the agreement between Anies, Surya Paloh and Muhaimin Iskandar which paired Anies and Muhaimin in the 2024 presidential election.

Although not clearly mentioning the direction of their latest coalition, the Chairman of the Democratic Party MT, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, revealed that there were parties who invited to form a new axis with PPP and PKS in the face of the 2024 presidential election.
