MAKASSAR - The National Mandate Party (PAN) has not yet determined the political stance of which presidential candidates will be promoted in the 2024 presidential election.
"Yes, of course, it will be continued with a meeting of political parties between party heads, between presidential candidates. But the outline is, we will continue our national commitment to the progress of the Republic of Indonesia," said PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hasan in Makassar, Wednesday, May 3.
However, said the man called Zulhas, there are already three presidential candidates who will appear to the surface such as Anies Baswedan, Ganjar Pranowo and Prabowo Subianto who are supported by several political parties.
"This presidential candidate is already visible, there are three. There are Anies (supported) Nasdem, PKS, Democrats, but again like this (shake)," said Zulhas while shaking his hand in response to reporters' questions.
"It has also been announced that Ganjar is with PPP, which we haven't. There are three KIBs (PPP, PAN, PPP). PAN and Golkar have not yet (determined a presidential candidate). One more thing, KIK (Indonesian Awakening Coalition) namely Gerindra and PKB, this is also not yet. The coalition is okay, but the partner is not suitable yet," he said.
According to him, determining the presidential and vice presidential candidates is not easy because various dynamic interests and political rhythms continue to move. In addition, the Golkar Party has determined the presidential candidate long ago, namely Airlangga Hartarto, in the results of the National Conference (Munas).
Therefore, the decision to determine the support and support must go through the mechanism of each party.
"So it's not easy, it's really this. Therefore, these days, parties (have not yet decided). Because Golkar has results, the National Conference also emphasizes that it must be a presidential candidate, at least vice presidential candidate. It's just not easy, we want but people don't want it, it's a hassle," said the Minister of Trade. emphasized.

Even so, said Zulhas, political dynamics will continue to grow and be more fluid. Although later a situation will be forced at a certain moment so that PAN will inevitably determine its political stance, but so far it has not been determined.
"There are those who want it, but we don't want it, until the situation is forced. If we have to, well, something else, wait for the forced situation, wait for the tight time. Therefore, we don't have to rush like our friend PPP, we'll see," said Zulhas.
