JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party opens up opportunities for a coalition with PDIP Party in the 2024 presidential election. It is said that Defense Minister (Menhan) Prabowo Subianto will pair up with the House of Representatives (DPR) Speaker Puan Maharani.

In this regard, a senior PDIP Party politician, Effendi Simbolon, instead suggested that Puan be paired with Anies Baswedan.

Moreover, the Governor of DKI Jakarta also has the potential to become one of the candidates in various survey institutions. With a note, the former minister of education and culture became a candidate for vice president to accompany Puan.

"I have a suggestion that Ms. Puan be paired with Anies", said Effendi in an online discussion entitled 'Puan’s Jealousy or Ganjar Who Doesn’t Know His Place' online, Sunday, May 30.

Effendi believes that the Puan-Anies pair will bring renewal at the five-year democratic party, compared to Prabowo-Puan.

"(Puan-Anies, ed) is something new. For Puan-Prabowo, I don't think there is anything new”, he said.

Not to mention if PDIP Party is in a coalition with political parties supporting Anies Baswedan, according to him, the results will certainly be very satisfying.

"If it is combined with the party that supports Anies, well, that could be something", said Effendi.

Currently, several parties are seen targeting Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election. One of them is NasDem Party.
