The presidential nominee of the Coalition for Change and Unity (KPP), Anies Baswedan, has decided on his choice of running mate and called on political parties backing him to “move forward” with his candidacy, his spokesperson said. 

The announcement came amid speculations that the alliance, which represents the opposition forces, is on the brink of falling apart as its members consisting the NasDem Party, the Democratic Party and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), struggled to settle on Anies’ running mate as well as the timing for declaring the candidate pair.   

In an effort to keep his electoral vehicle intact, Anies convened a joint meeting with KPP members on Tuesday, in which he made clear that talks about the vice presidential nominee have been completed as he has made up his mind over his running mate pick, Anies’ spokesperson Sudirman Said told reporters on Wednesday.
