"Yes, NasDem always wants to be the first. So, we are trying to register for the first time, hopefully it is in line with expectations," said Deputy Secretary General of the NasDem Party, Siar Anggretta Siagiani when speaking with the media crew at the KPU Coordination Meeting in Jakarta, Thursday, October 12, which was confiscated by Antara. Siar Anggretta said that NasDem's preparations went smoothly to register the presidential/vice-presidential candidate pair from the Change Coalition for Unity, Anies Baswedan and Cak Imin, to the KPU. "Alhamdulillah, so far the preparations have been smooth, all document files in accordance with the regulations have been prepared and preparations to also register with the KPU have been prepared," he said. When asked about whether Anies had a vision in accordance with the National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN), Siar said that the candidate for the Coalition for Change for Unity had a sustainable vision with the RPJPN. "I think Mr. Anies is a technocrat who previously had experience as governor, of course he understands very well and of course his vision and mission is sustainable according to GBHN and previous period plans," he said.

Even though he always calls for change, Anies has a vision and mission that is in accordance with the RPJPN. "The change, the meaning of which is change from the good to the better, from the bad to the good, so I think in everything that has been compiled by the previous period, of course there is an evaluation," continued Siar. According to him, the evaluation can be from various things and aspects because it doesn't have to be just one aspect, but all aspects of life need to be seen which ones are made even better, which ones are not yet good to be better.
