Herzaky assessed that the meeting of the PDI-P (PDIP) presidential candidate and the candidate for the Coalition for Change for Unity was a positive thing. Moreover, the two met in the Holy Land.

"Reminders if there are different choices, it doesn't mean they have to be hostile and don't communicate," he said.
