JAKARTA - The NasDem Party responded to the invitation from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) to join the plan of the Red Ant Coalition which was formed with the National Awakening Party (PKB).

NasDem Party DPP chairman Willy Aditya emphasized that his party was still focused on preparing for the National Working Meeting (Rakernas) to be held on June 15-17.

Willy said that the National Working Meeting would determine one of three options for the name of the presidential candidate that would be carried by NasDem in the 2024 presidential election. After that, he said, NasDem would only determine who the coalition partners would be to carry the same presidential candidate.

"So far, NasDem is still focusing on the National Working Meeting to announce the three names. After that, we will discuss the coalition," Willy said when contacted, Friday, June 10.

Previously, Secretary General of the NasDem Party Johnny G. Plate also said that his party would only discuss the coalition issue after a presidential candidate was determined on 15-17 June 2022.

"NasDem did not form a coalition before there was a presidential candidate," said Plate, Wednesday, June 7.

It is known, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) opened the door for the NasDem and Democrat parties if they wanted to join the Red Ant Coalition with the National Awakening Party (PKB).

Aboe said this coalition only needed one more party to fulfill the requirements to carry the presidential and vice presidential candidates.

"Welcome, we are ready with NasDem, Democrats, we are ready with others," said PKS Secretary General Aboe Bakar Alhabsyi in Jakarta, Friday, June 10.
