Some circles have the desire to form their own party for active participation. One of them is Anies Baswedan who openly stated the possibility of establishing a separate political party. The signal from Anies that he wanted to establish this political party was also welcomed and supported by many parties.

"If to gather all the spirit of change, which now feels bigger and that becomes a force needed to become a movement, then build a mass organization or build a new party, maybe that's the way we will take," said Anies last week.
