JAKARTA - Deputy General Chairperson (Waketum) of the NasDem Party, Ahmad Ali, denied exploring the coalition with PKS and Democrats. According to him, communication in building the discourse of the Change Coalition continues.

Ali said that the small commotion between NasDem and Democrats related to the discourse of presidential candidates for the Anies Baswedan pair is a normal gimmick in politics "Nasdem and Democrats pretending to be just a fuss, just a game," said Ali when contacted by VOI, Tuesday, January 24. However, Ali did not deny that the Coalition of Amendments that had been touted so far was just an imagination. Because, in fact NasDem, Democrat and PKS had not yet stated a coalition. Ali also challenged PKS and Democrats to immediately declare Anies Baswedan so that the Coalition of Change would actually materialize. "Yes, maybe (A Coalition of Amendments, ed) imagination. Because the coalition NasDem has already declared Anies' support. Another question is when? How about it? How is it not declared Anies?," said Ali. Moreover, he continued, the internals of the two political parties have broken Anies' candidacy as a presidential candidate in 2024. Although each political party proposes the name of its vice presidential candidate. "So far it has been better to declare it, when there is indeed an internal understanding within them," said Ali.

"There is a party to discuss supporting Anies in this pair, but NasDem is not interested in talking about the Anies pair. We will first talk about the criteria for the vice president, what needs," he continued.

According to Ali, so far there have been no significant obstacles. Because, he said, only NasDem declared Anies a presidential candidate so that no coalition has been created. "If you want to talk about a coalition, talk to the party chairman, because until now NasDem has not had a new coalition friend. So Anies has only been promoted by one party, then another NasDem is just a plan. So just wait," he said.
