JAKARTA - The Head of the Political, Legal and Security Affairs Division of the PKS DPP Al Muzammil Yusuf said that his party would announce Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate in 2024. The declaration will officially be held to coincide with the PKS National Working Meeting (Rakernas) next week.

"On February 23 to 26, there will be an official declaration of PKS support for Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate," Muzammil told reporters, Sunday, February 19.

Muzammil said the Democrat Party would do the same, after the PKS officially declared its support for Anies.

After NasDem, PKS and Democrats each announced Anies to carry the former Governor of DKI Jakarta, continued Muzammil, only the declaration of the Change Coalition was made.

"After (the PKS declaration), it is very possible that there will be an official declaration by the Democrats, which will then be followed by a joint declaration of the three parties," said Muzammil.

On Friday, February 3, PKS officials visited the NasDem Party DPP Office, in Gondangdia, Menteng, Central Jakarta, to meet with the Head of NasDem Surya Paloh.

Deputy Chairman of the PKS Syuro Council Sohibul Iman said the meeting with NasDem Chairman Surya Paloh would discuss the declaration of the Change Coalition and the Change Secretariat.

Sohibul said that regarding PKS' support for Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate in 2024, it had been conveyed after his arrival from Istanbul. "What I have conveyed is time at the airport, that hilal," said Sohibul Iman.

Sohibul revealed that the declaration of the Change Coalition which was being finalized by a small team of the NasDem, Democrat and PKS parties would be discussed a little during a meeting with Surya Paloh this afternoon.

It's just that, he said, the deepening of the declaration will be discussed with all political parties and the presidential candidate. Especially regarding the timing of the declaration of the coalition and the presidential election.

"Maybe there will be talks. But the joint declaration must be together. Later we will try together, four parties. Three parties and presidential candidates. There we discuss when the declaration will be, not today. Even though it was mentioned today, it's just a warm-up," said Sohibul.

Meanwhile, regarding the Declaration of Amendments, Sohibul ensured that it would not be agreed in this meeting. However, he hopes that it can be a little mentioned. "Today is not. But hopefully," he said.
