JAKARTA - Democratic Party spokesman Herzaky Mahendra Putra said small teams meet every week to continue to finalize the plan for the Democratic Party coalition, NasDem Party, and Prosperous Justice Party. "There is a special team every week that meets him to discuss various things, the journey is quite long because indeed we happen to be NasDem with PKS wanting to be completed," said Herzaky in the discussion "North Atik Tiket Capres" as monitored from the KedaiKopi Survey YouTube, Antara, Sunday, October 23. He said the team discussed the strategy to win the 2024 presidential election, as well as discussing changes and the design of the government in the future. "We talked about change, then what kind of platform will be in the future. Then we talked about what kind of government design. Of course we learned from various governments, the current era, the era of Pak SBY, all kinds of eras. So, we want the best. Then not only there, we also talked about how the strategy was winning," said Herzaky. Meanwhile, Deputy Secretary General of the NasDem Party, Hermawi Taslim, said that the coalition of the three parties was almost 80 percent. The team is to formulate campaign themes and other substantive matters. "I want to say please correct, our coalition is almost 80 percent. While waiting, while respecting the authority of each party which has its own dynamics, its own mechanism, we start from a small team. The small team will later set up all the campaign themes, substantive things," he said. "So, the NasDem, Democrat, and PKS coalitions have not yet happened but almost, they are almost there," Taslim added. Meanwhile, PKS spokesman Muhammad Kholid assessed that the team was there to equalize the frequency. "In PKS itself, the platform is being carried out by a change platform because we have 10 years and two periods, this is also the opposition and of course this needs to equalize the frequency. Maybe if it's with the Democrats because we've been outside the government for a long time. Then NasDem has a platform that was previously in the coalition, this needs to sit together," said Kholid. He said that it was necessary to equalize the frequency because the three parties both had their own aspirations. "In the future, how about the design of the government, the problem of presidential and vice presidential candidates, we also have to sit together, we are still in the stage of making criteria. So, of course NasDem has aspirations, Democrats have aspirations," said Kholid.
