The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has maintained that it will stick to its position of nominating Anies Baswedan for president in the 2024 election, denying speculation that the former Jakarta governor could join another presidential ticket.
PKS chairman Ahmad Syaikhu said the party's national congress had officially endorsed the presidential candidacy of Anies and that it would not settle for second place.
Syaikhu was responding to a scenario that Anies could be paired with Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo in a ticket nominated by the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P).
"We remain committed to the agreement made during the eighth national congress that Anies Rasyid Baswedan will run as a presidential candidate and not vice-presidential candidate," Syaikhu was quoted by Antara as saying.
