Director of Political Parameters (PPI) Adi Prayitno assessed NasDem Party only want to partner with the Democratic Party (PD) and PKS to build a coalition in the 2024 Presidential Election. However, on the other hand, it is considered that NasDem does not want Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) or Ahmad Heryawan (Aher) to become vice presidential candidate Anies Baswedan.
“Backstage, the Democratic Party will definitely ask, what are the reasons NasDem and Anies don’t want to be with AHY? Those are questions that have not been answered so far,” Adi said in the Adu Perspektif discussion held detikcom and Total Politics, Wednesday (1/2/2023).
According to Adi, the Democratic Party should be offended by the attitude of the NasDem so far. This is because AHY, who served as chairman of the Democratic Party, was not seen by Anies and NasDem.
“If I were a Democrat, I would be offended by the NasDem elites. It is clear that there is AHY, but they are still targeting and looking for other names to become Anies Baswedan’s companion,” he said.
“That’s the same thing, the NasDem and Anies only want the Democratic Party, but don’t want AHY as Anies’ representative,” Adi added.
According to Adi, the NasDem’s impression of not wanting AHY and Aher is the same as that of Gerindra and PKB. Gerindra is considered to be impressed that it only wants to be with PKB, but does not want Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin as Prabowo Subianto’s running mate.
“If I were a PKS member, I would be offended, obviously there would be Aher,” said Adi.
“This is a testing ground that will determine whether the political faith of the axes that have been declared by the presidential candidates will register with the KPU in October,” he said.
So, according to Adi, the Democrat Party and PKS don’t need to have high hopes for the NasDem Party, regarding the position of cawapres. Because the Surya Paloh party seems to be looking for another figure outside the Democrats and PKS.
“That’s why I always say on various occasions, Democrats and PKS, if you want to be honest, were PHP. Don’t expect too much to be elected, okay, to accompany Anies, as long as a number of NasDem elites bring up other names that are considered worthy every day. accompanying Anies Baswedan, wow, this is not as complicated as one might imagine,” he added.
