JAKARTA - The Democratic Party visited the NasDem Party's office in Gondangdia. The meeting of General Chair, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) ,with NasDem General Chair, Surya Paloh, could discuss the 2024 presidential election coalition.

Political communication observer at Esa Unggul University, Jamiluddin Ritonga, assessed that discussions about the 2024 presidential election coalition were still fluid.

"The opportunity in that direction is very big considering that these two parties both carry nationalists. Therefore, the chance of meeting points for the coalition in the 2024 presidential election is more open", Jamiluddin said to VOI, Tuesday, March 29.

In addition, he continued, the presidential and vice-presidential candidates who will be promoted will also be brighter. According to Jamiluddin, NasDem and the Democrats don't seem to have a problem if they run DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate.

"These two parties seem to have seen Anies' great potential to run for the next presidential election. Both of them just need to agree on who will accompany Anies as a vice-presidential candidate? One of them is of course AHY is very appropriate to accompany Anies", he said.

Jamiluddin said, from several surveys the Anies-AHY pair was indeed very competitive. Therefore, he said, the Anies-AHY pair deserved to be carried by NasDem and the Democratic Party.

However, Jamiluddin assesses that the chance for this pair to be realized is very large if former Vice President Jusuf Kalla is involved. This is because Jusuf Kalla (JK) has a close relationship with Surya Paloh and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY).

"If JK can unite Surya and SBY, then the Anies-AHY duo will be realized", he said.

In addition, continued Jamiluddin, JK, and SBY also have a close relationship with PKS. Therefore, JK and SBY could invite PKS to form a coalition with the Democratic Party and NasDem to carry Anies-AHY.

"For JK and PKS, Anies is the figure who was carried in the 2017 Regional head election. Therefore, Anies is not a foreign figure to JK and PKS, so the opportunity to carry him is very big in the 2024 presidential election", Jamiluddin explained.

According to him, if Surya, SBY, and JK unite, the Anies-AHY duo will be very open. According to him, the support of NasDem, Democrats, and PKS is enough to carry the duet.

"Therefore, the meeting between AHY and Surya must be continued by involving JK, SBY, and PKS. Their involvement is what can unite voices to carry the Anies-AHY duet", said Jamiluddin.

Previously, the chairman of the Democratic Party Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) stated that his party and NasDem had the same attitude regarding the postponement of the 2024 General Election. Both parties rejected the proposal.

This was conveyed by AHY after meeting Surya Paloh at the NasDem DPP Office, Gondangdia, Central Jakarta. He said Democrats and NasDem have the same attitude to reject things that are not in line with the constitution.

"I believe that Nasdem and Democrats have the same firm stance in the sense that they should not be directed to tamper with the constitution", AHY told reporters after holding a closed meeting with Surya Paloh, Tuesday, March 29.

In addition, AHY revealed that the opportunity for his party to form a coalition with the NasDem Party in the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) is open.

Moreover, these two parties have the same desire to succeed by increasing their number of seats in the legislature.

"Actually, there are so many opportunities and options to form a coalition with each other", said AHY.
