JAKARTA - Chairman of the NasDem Party Surya Paloh hopes that the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) will unite after DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan was declared a presidential candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres). "God willing, all of them unite the mind, spirit, determination, together with NasDem. God willing," Paloh told reporters at NasDem Tower, Gondangdia, Central Jakarta, Monday, October 3. Meanwhile, Anies said he would focus on discussing the coalition and its candidacy after completing his duties as governor on October 16. However, he confirmed that he would remain focused on being a presidential candidate after being declared by NasDem. When the time comes, Anies is sure that all will be given the best way. Moreover, he has experienced a similar experience when he ran for the 2017 DKI Jakarta Pilkada. "God willing, everything will be given the best way," he said. As previously reported, Anies has been declared a candidate for president of the NasDem Party. Related to this, he admitted that he was ready to run. "We accept Bismillah, we are ready," said Anies after being declared as NasDem presidential candidate at NasDem Tower, Gondangdia, Central Jakarta, Monday, October 3. Anies believes that his advancement as a presidential candidate will serve him. Thus, the former Minister of Education and Culture (Mendikbud) will continue to strive. "By asking for prayers, God willing, this long journey will not be a tough journey but a light journey," he said. "We prepare this effort as a form of worship," Anies continued.
