JAKARTA - The NasDem Party ensures that the coalition supporting the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin pair will not change the name of the Change Coalition. The reason is, the term change has been the NasDem tagline for a long time so that it will continue to use the name. "If the Tok Change Coalition is NasDem's tagline from the beginning. It doesn't mean that it has changed, it doesn't, but the story about the change, the story about NasDem from the beginning before carrying Mr. Jokowi," said NasDem Party Deputy Ahmad Ali at the PKS DPP, South Jakarta, Tuesday, September 12. Ali was surprised if the term is now being questioned. Moreover, it is called using the term change but it is in the government. "How come NasDem has not been in question from the first? Why is it being questioned now?," said Ali. Ali also emphasized that the tagline of change had been used since before supporting Joko Widodo's candidacy. "The government is not sensitive, which is the problem if it is added," he added. Previously, the presidential candidate Anies Baswedan emphasized that the name of the coalition support remains the Coalition for Change for Unity (KPP). However, the former governor of DKI Jakarta also did not rule out the possibility of discussing the name of the coalition. "Actually, the coalition changes remain the name of the coalition. If it is also the number of changes, right? We will discuss it later," said Anies at the DPP PKS office, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, September 12.

According to Anies, in principle there is no change in the name of his supporting coalition with Cak Imin. Because he said, the term change is the key word for the NasDem coalition, PKS and PKB in the 2024 presidential election. "In principle, nothing has changed. Because the keyword is change, and the keyword is not proposed change. So for him it can be for many things, changes in keywords, so it remains," said Anies.
