A number of West Sumatra Democrat Party officials held a meeting with Anies Baswedan with West Sumatra NasDem Party officials and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) at the Truntum Hotel, Sunday, December 4. West Sumatra Democratic DPD chairman Mulyadi said the meeting was limited to establishing communication and talks related to the coalition in the 2024 presidential election. Moreover, at the central level, he continued, the Chairman of the Democrats, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), is predicted to be side by side with Anies as a candidate for vice president. According to him, cadres in West Sumatra and even at the national level, there is hope that these two figures will advance in the upcoming presidential election. “ I am also tired of answering people's questions. When did they (Anies-AHY) declare, "” he said accompanied by a Democrat cadre who is also Deputy Chairman of the West Sumatra DPRD, Suwirpen Suib in Padang, Antara, Sunday, December 5. He also conveyed at the meeting the most appropriate momentum for the declaration of the Anies and AHY pair in January. "Don't take too long, don't be too fast. Moreover, communication has been established," he said. Even so, Mulyadi said this still depends on the party coalition. According to him, the key to the declaration is the agreement of three parties, Nasdem, Democrats, and PKS. Mulyadi said that if the Anies-AHY pair realized it, he said there must be an effect on the Pileg. Moreover, a real example has occurred in West Sumatra in the 2019 election. Even though Presidential Candidate Prabowo lost, in West Sumatra there were many Gerindra votes in West Sumatra. "Of course this will affect the voice of the Democrats. There is a positive effect on the party carrying the upcoming presidential and vice presidential candidates," he said. At that gathering, PKS representatives were also present. Mulyadi did not deny that this had something to do with the Nasdem, Democratic, and PKS coalitions in the presidential election later. Chairman of the DPW of the Democratic Party Mulyadi himself accompanied by the advisory board of the Suwirpen Suib party, Secretary Doni Harsiva and Bakomstra of the Democratic Party Ari Prima held a meeting with Anies Baswedan and also Chairman of the NasDem DPW Fadly Amran, Secretary of the West Sumatra PKS Rahmat Saleh and cadres of the party.
