BANDA ACEH - The general chairman of the NasDem Party's DPP, Surya Paloh, confirmed that they have not officially formed a coalition with any party to face the upcoming 2024 general election, but only an ordinary meeting or an exchange of opinions.

"The coalition is not yet official, but lobbying is certain. It was a meeting, an exchange of ideas, as has been reported," said Paloh, in Banda Aceh, Aceh, as reported by Antara, Monday, June 27.

This statement was made by Paloh during a press conference after the inauguration and guidance of the Aceh NasDem Party DPW Office, in Banda Aceh.

Recently, Paloh met with leaders from two major parties, namely the Prosperous Justice Party and the Democratic Party.

With the Democratic Party, he immediately met the Chairman of the Democratic Party DPP, Agus H Yudhoyono. Then also have met the elite ranks of the PKS Party. Both meetings took place at the NasDem Tower, Jakarta.

Surya Paloh said that after the meeting the NasDem Party had indeed become a fairly warm conversation. In fact, it has given rise to different perceptions and opinions. "NasDem has now become an extraordinary conversation, some have empathy, some say go on, and don't go," he said.

He emphasized that the combination that is currently being faced is the dialectic and romance of the NasDem Party. But whatever it is they continue to be proud of everything.

"If this party already has a role, and the existence of its existence, it is impossible for it to be the center of attention," said Paloh.
