“It was Andi Arief who released the name Ms. Yenny in the PD’s proposal. If Anies chooses one of the proposals, what’s wrong?” he said.
Gus Choi also said that there is nothing wrong if Anies Baswedan ultimately did not vote for any of the NasDem, Democrat, and PKS proposals. He said that authority was fully in the hands of Anies Baswedan.
“Even if Anies takes someone from outside who is not included in the proposal, that’s fine too. Because the authority to determine the cawapres has been handed over to the presidential candidate,” he said.
Democratic response
Meanwhile, Deputy Bappilu Democratic Party Kamhar Lakumani answered Gus Choi’s statement. He said that so far the one who suggested the name Yenny Wahid was actually Gus Choi.
“I just heard about it. As far as I know, all this time, on various occasions, Gus Choi, who is passionate about mentioning that name,” he said when contacted separately.
Furthermore, Kamhar said that his party would not comment on Gus Choi’s statement. He ensured that the Democrats had completely handed over the matter of the vice presidential candidate to Anies Baswedan.
“The criteria are very clear, and authority has been given to Mas Anies. He has one name, so we respect that, waiting for the right time to be made public. So we will not comment on anyone, including what Effendy Choirie said. “We’ll just wait for the delivery from Mas Anies at a later time,” he said.
