"This is the struggle of the Partai NasDem which is consistent, not a simple struggle, but this is a very big struggle, a struggle that endeavors to be fairer," he asserted. Anies stated that unity is not enough to be tied up with a speech, unity is not enough to be tied up with language, but unity must be supported by a sense of justice. Based on the schedule of the General Election Commission (KPU) of the Republic of Indonesia, the registration of prospective presidential and vice presidential candidates will start from October 19 to November 25, 2023.

Currently, there are 575 seats in parliament so that the pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates in the 2024 presidential election must have at least 115 seats in the DPR RI. It could also be that the candidate pairs are promoted by political parties or a combination of political parties participating in the 2019 Election with a total valid vote acquisition of at least 34,992,703 votes.
