JAKARTA - Chairman of the Democratic Party Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) respects the NasDem Party's decision to name three presidential candidates for 2024.

The three names for the NasDem presidential candidates are DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan, TNI Commander General Andika Perkasa, and Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo.

"I said earlier to Mr. Surya Paloh, we congratulated the National Working Meeting which was very successful. We respect the results, of course these are the rights and independence of political parties," AHY said during a press conference at NasDem Tower, Gondangdia, Central Jakarta, Thursday, June 23.

However, according to AHY, the Democrats have not been able to agree on a coalition and support the NasDem presidential-vice presidential candidate pair. Democrats continued, AHY was still comfortable exploring communication with the NasDem Party and shortly after closing the door on cooperation for other parties.

"We agreed that we don't have to talk about the compositions of A and B early in the morning, because that makes them mutually lock each other. While we really enjoy it, because we really talk about how to build a togetherness space first, this is more important than us early in the morning locked each other and I really respect him (Surya Paloh)," said AHY.

This includes the bid to become a vice presidential candidate from the three presidential candidates recommended by NasDem, either in pairs with Anies, Andika or Ganjar. AHY asserted, it is still very early to say. According to him, political talks towards the 2024 election still have to go through a long process.

"That has not been discussed yet, maybe in time we will enter the area, but in our opinion it is too early if we talk there now. This means that this process is still long, there is still enough time and hopefully we will all be patient," concluded AHY.
