JAKARTA - The NasDem Party has determined 3 names for presidential candidates (bacapres) to be carried in the 2024 presidential election. NasDem has also been seen as 'intimate' with PKS and the Democratic Party.
However, until now the certainty about the coalition has not been announced. Related to this, the Deputy Chairperson of the NasDem Party, Ahmad Ali, emphasized that the determination of the coalition was the domain of the General Chairperson of the NasDem Party, Surya Paloh.
"That is the business of the general chairman (Surya Paloh)," said Ahmad Ali at the KPU office, Jakarta, Monday, August 1.
Including the question of the name of the presidential candidate from the National Working Meeting, said Ali, that is also the authority of Surya Paloh. According to him, of the three names, namely Ganjar Pranowo, Anies Baswedan, and Andika Perkasa, Surya Paloh will then convey to the political parties that will form a coalition with NasDem.
"Out of the 3 names, the general chairman was given full authority to determine the presidential candidate who was considered acceptable by all groups, including the political parties," he explained.
Ali revealed that the NasDem Party is also exploring communication with other political parties regarding the coalition. Because related to the 2024 presidential election, he said, the NasDem Party had to form a coalition with other parties due to the 20 percent presidential nomination threshold (PT).
"Then NasDem tried to build political communication with political parties and then explored possibilities for us to form a coalition," he said.
"Because NasDem in the 2024 General Election will not be able to carry it on its own, because we only have more than 10 percent, to require 20 percent, we want to cooperate or not," continued Ali.
