PAN Confirms Erick Thohir as Vice Presidential Candidate in 2024 Presidential Election

– The National Mandate Party (PAN) has ensured that the name of SOE Minister Erick Thohir will run as a candidate for vice president (cawapres) in the 2024 presidential election. This was conveyed by Deputy Chairperson of the PAN DPP Yandri Susanto, after attending the Al-Khairyah National Working Meeting at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta , Saturday (6/5/2023).

“We are for the position of vice president, which we are pushing God willing, Bang Erick Thohir,” said Yandri.

According to Yandri, the appointment of the name Erick Thohir as vice presidential candidate was a mandate for the PAN National Working Meeting which was held last year. Even so, Yandri emphasized that his party is still solidly incorporated in the United Indonesia Coalition (KIB) together with the Golkar Party and the United Development Party (PPP).

Yandri also emphasized that KIB has yet to determine who will be supported as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election. This is because determining support for a presidential candidate will affect the political axis in the upcoming 2024 election.

According to Yandri, his party is still discussing who will be supported as a presidential candidate for the upcoming presidential election.

“If we support whether Ganjar, Prabowo, or others, it is still being discussed. It is still being finalized internally within the party,” said Yandri.
