Anies explained that he together with the vice presidential candidate Muhaimin Iskandar alias Cak Imin, only focused on realizing everything in the debate location. "After the debate we shake hands with everything there, yes if it is not there (around the debate area, ed), I don't shake hands, because we automatically want to find where, so we welcome everything there including Ms. Puan," he said. Regarding the opportunity to form a coalition with PDIP going forward, Anies admitted that he had not thought about it in that direction, because he was still focused on increasing the existing support for the current Anies-Muhaimin (AMIN) pair.
