PKS Hopes There Are 3 Candidates In The 2024 Presidential Election

JAKARTA - Secretary General of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Aboe Bakar Al-Habsyi hopes that there will be three pairs of candidates (paslon) for president and vice president competing in the 2024 General Election (Pemilu).

"We hope that this democracy will run well, with three candidate pairs, yes," said Aboe Bakar as quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, May 20.

When asked about the announcement of the vice presidential candidate who will accompany the prospective presidential candidate for the Change Coalition for Unity (KPP) Anies Baswedan, he said this was conveyed after the KPP Joint Secretariat (Sekber) was announced.

The Vice President was formed after it was announced. "It must be with the secretary, hopefully there will be a vice presidential candidate," said Aboe Bakar.

He estimates that the inauguration of the KPP Secretary will take place in June or July 2023. Therefore, the announcement of the vice president who will accompany Anies Baswedan is expected to take place in the month's range.

According to him, PKS would be happier if the presidential candidate from the PDI-P Ganjar Pranowo and the prospective presidential candidate from the Gerindra Party Prabowo Subianto announced their vice presidential candidate first.

"Actually, we prefer this vice presidential candidate from our left-right friends. So, for example, Mr. GP (Ganjar Pranowo, ed.) who has found it, Mr. Bowo (Prabowo, ed.) For example, who can get it, now we are happy," he said.

Aboe Bakar expressed his hope that the 2024 General Election would run with an atmosphere of a happy and fun democratic party.

"There are no scary, tense, and scary things," said Aboe Bakar.
