JAKARTA - PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin was officially declared as a vice presidential candidate (Cawapres) accompanying Anies Baswedan in the 2024 presidential election. This declaration also confirmed the joining of PKB to the Change Coalition for Unity (KPP) with NasDem and PKS.

At that time, he had to give a direct answer when asked by the Head of NasDem, Surya Paloh. For that offer, within three days all PKB administrators moved to seniors, kiai and ulama until they got approval in pairs with Anies Baswedan. "We were looking for someone who was in Makkah, try to check the script in Makkah, there was Gus Badawi's name, immediately my phone showed up, the results continued, the best," said Cak Imin during the declaration of the presidential and vice presidential candidates in Surabaya, Saturday, September 2. Then, continued Cak Imin, plenop unanimously ordered him to accept a pair with Anies Baswedan. Cak Imin also told me that he had been ordered to pair up with Anies by one of the kiai a few years ago. But he has not confirmed it and has not yet refused until today the Anies-Cak Imin pair really realized. "I am very grateful again, Mas Anies and I am not another person you are very difficult to know for a long time, when we study to become students at Gajah Mada University Yogyakarta. Me and Mas Anies have been old lyrics," he said.

In addition, Cak Imin admitted that he agreed to cooperate with the NasDem Party because there was a common spirit in diversity and wanted change. "That's why when I shook hands with Surya Paloh, Bismillah I wanted, I stated that I was ready to join the Coalition for Change," said Cak Imin.
