Sandiaga Uno Is Considered To Have A Chance To Be Appointed By PKS With Anies Baswedan In The 2024 Presidential Election

JAKARTA - Spokesperson for the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Muhammad Iqbal stated that Sandiaga Uno has the opportunity to be nominated as a candidate for vice president (cawapres) to accompany Anies Baswedan.

"Currently, PKS has not yet chosen a vice presidential candidate, which means that Sandi still has a chance to be endorsed by PKS. Anyone has a chance, including Sandi, especially since he has a high survey and has won with Anies," he said as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, February 22.

This was conveyed by Iqbal in response to the results of a Voxpol Center Research and Consulting survey, where the pair Anies Baswedan and Sandiaga Uno could potentially be a duet for the 2024 election.

"I think Mr. Sandi is a person who is very close to PKS, because he has been promoted and this is a pair that has won, meaning that we welcome Mr. Sandi's high survey," he stressed.

Previously, Voxpol Center Research and Consulting Executive Director Pangi Syarwi Chaniago said that the pair Anies Baswedan and Sandiaga Uno could potentially be a duet for the 2024 election.

"The Anies-Sandi pair won the election for governor of Jakarta in 2017 thanks to an effective campaign, pro-people programs, broad support from the community and succeeded in touching millennials to play an active role in politics through the use of technology and social media," he said in a written statement in Jakarta.

The figures of Anies Baswedan and Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno ranked first in the Voxpol Center Research and Consulting version of the 2024 presidential election presidential candidate simulation.

The Anies-Sandi pair won the highest electability with an electability gain of 33.8 percent.

Both of them are superior to the Ganjar-Erick Thohir pair with an electability of 30.7 percent and the Prabowo-Khofifah pair with 25.9 percent electability.

The results of the survey show that Anies-Sandi are potential partners and have the opportunity to repeat success like the 2017 DKI Jakarta Regional Head Election (Pilkada).
