JAKARTA - The Democratic Party has confirmed that it will form a coalition with PKs and NasDem. The certainty of the coalition candidates was revealed by the member of the Democratic Party's High Council Syarief Hasan. Syarief said that the Chairman of the Democrats Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) had communicated with the two political parties. "In an impact, mas AHY has stated that he is in intense communication with the two parties. It is common knowledge that the two parties are NasDem and PKS," said Syarief, Friday, September 16.

The Deputy Chairperson of the MPR said that the certainty of this coalition is also an affirmation that communication with the two parties went well. However, he said, AHY did not mention in the 2022 Rapimnas because the coalition agreement was still not final.

"I think because it's not final, everything is still in the stage of unification of coalition party platforms. Because other coalitions are also not final, it's just a discourse and so on. For us, we have explicitly said that we are negotiating what intense communication with the two parties is," said Syarif.

Previously, the chairman of the NasDem DPP, Willy Aditya, admitted that currently NasDem is exploring the formation of the 2024 presidential election coalition with the Democratic Party and PKS. It's just that, according to him, an agreement has not been reached. "(So) just waiting for an agreement, that's quite a crucial point so far," said Willy.
