TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A politician from the Prosperity and Justice Party (PKS) Mardani Ali Sera stated the party disagreed if the nine names that have been offered to be the vice presidential candidate are replaced with Anies Baswedan.
“Based on the recent situation, we didn’t agree the nine candidates are replaced with Anies Baswedan,” said Mardani in Menteng, South Jakarta, Thursday, April 19.
According to Mardani, a lot of possibilities might raise until August considering that in the 2017 Gubernatorial Election Anies, Baswedan-Sandiaga Uno ticket was nominated in the last minutes by coalition party Gerindra and PKS.
