JAKARTA - The daughter of the fourth President of the Republic of Indonesia Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur), Yenny Wahid, opened his voice about the opportunity to become a vice presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election. As is well known, Yenny's name is often included in the cawapres stock exchange on a number of survey institutions. Yenny was also echoed in the proposed vice presidential candidate in the election later. First, Yenny admitted that he needed to establish communication with the candidates and coalition parties before expressing his willingness to become a vice presidential candidate for one of the parties. "If I personally have an additional spiritual mechanism, so I will go to my father's grave to wait for instructions. If someone else says I am waiting for your instructions. Namely, Mr. Yenny. To the three presidential candidates namely Ganjar Pranowo, Prabowo Subianto, and Anies Baswedan, Yenny admitted that he had a separate familiar relationship. Ganjar, according to Yenny, has a nationalist ideology that is bounded by nahdliyin like himself. "From the ideology side of course as a marhaen nationalist, there is always a crush or there is a meeting point with the nahdliyin. Pak Ganjar's wife is from the pesantren. There must be closeness there," explained Yenny. Yeies, Yenny revealed her closeness because she was offered to be a lecturer at Paramadina University when Anies was still in the rector. "In addition, we were often invited together to be a speaker in a global forum. So, I am quite familiar with Pak Anies," said Yenny.

Then, with Prabowo, Yenny said that his grandfather and grandfather Prabowo's residence were close together. Yenny's husband was once a Gerindra Party cadre. "In the past, before my husband joined PSI, my husband was a Gerindra cadre. So when we campaigned with Gerindra in 2009, there I met my husband. So, Pak Prabowo was my matchmaker," he explained.
