JAKARTA - The NasDem Party is talking about the fate of the Coalition for Change. The party chaired by Surya Paloh stated that the formation of the Coalition for Change, which is being built with PKS and the Democratic Party (PD), is still under control.

The chairman of the NasDem DPP, Willy Aditya emphasized that so far there have been no significant obstacles that have hindered his party from building a coalition with PKS and Democrats.

"There's nothing significant to be an obstacle", said Willy when confirmed, Tuesday, January 24.

Willy also emphasized that there had been no attempt to attack each other between the NasDem, Democrats, or PKS so that the Coalition for Change had not been declared. He ensured that the relationship between the three political parties in the small team was still cordial even though there were dynamics.

"There's no (attacking each other, ed), we'll see, yes, fellow small teams are friendly with each other. The Change Coalition has dynamics that change a little, so that's just artificial. Safe, under control", he said.

According to Willy, the dynamics that emerge in the prospective coalition candidates are gimmicks that are still in a reasonable stage. The most important thing, he said, is that the three political parties are still discussing future agendas.

"When viewed from the dynamics of a small team, it's fine. So far, so good. That there are dynamics, it's only natural, the important thing is that we continue to discuss several agendas going forward. A little gimmick, it's only natural", he said.

Meanwhile, Democratic politician Kamhar Lakumani declined to comment on the development of the Coalition for Change, which his party plans to form with NasDem and PKS. According to him, his party is focusing until next February.

"Sorry, regarding the coalition, we will not comment until February so as not to disrupt the ongoing process", he said when confirmed, Tuesday, January 24.
