Secretary General of the DPP Democratic Party, Teuku Riefky Harsya, stated that according to the direction of General Chair Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), the Democrats officially expressed their support for Anies Baswedan's candidacy as a presidential candidate (candidate) in 2024. This was stated by Riefky after a meeting between the small NasDem Party and PKS at Pendopo Anies Baswedan, Lebak Bulus, Jakarta, Friday, January 27.

"Yesterday, the Chairman of the Democratic Party, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, expressed his position openly related to carrying Mr. Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate in 2024," said Riefky Harsya.

With a statement of support for Anies Baswedan, he continued, Democrats, NasDem, and PKS can immediately realize the Coalition for Change which is currently being finalized. He hopes that PKS will soon follow to express support for Anies' candidacy.

"Our hope is that three parties will immediately sign support for Mr. Anies as a presidential candidate. This is what we are continuing to encourage," said Riefky. "Of course we are also sure that NasDem and PKS will also move it because the most important thing is the declaration which is 20 percent (change coalition)," he added.

Riefky Harsya said AHY's declaration of support for Anies was only made through official information. Because according to him, the declaration that must be made completely first is the declaration of the Change Coalition.

"So we really hope and thank you that our meeting and good intentions will all be easier in the future," said Riefky.
