"Let Mr. Surya, Mr. SBY, Mr. AHY then Habib Salim, or the President of PKS can formulate the best leaders for this country," explained Herman.

Ali also asked potential coalition partners not to make their own analysis of the vice presidential figure. He has not even declared Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate, but has tried to present his companion's name. "Don't then make your own analysis that this figure is the most appropriate to accompany Anies. That's not fair," he explained. "I always say that the PKS proposal to nominate, say Ahmad Heryawan or finally agrees with Khofifah, right, and then the Democrats must AHY, NasDem doesn't want to respond to that because NasDem still sees it as a form of party sovereignty, that's their right. But if we are involved in a coalition now that's why we talk for the common interest," Ali emphasized.
