^ a: Anies Baswedan dissolved the national teams, but he remained as opposition after disbandment.
^ b: The coalition is considered as from centre-left, centre, right-wing, and far-right that does tend a big tent position.

On 3 October 2022, NasDem Party leader Surya Paloh officially declared Anies Baswedan as their presidential candidate for the 2024 Indonesian presidential election.[3] As of December 2022, Coalition of Change has not yet officially been formed from the three political parties, despite confirmations it was in the works, with current plans for formation set for January 2023.[4] On 24 March 2023, the coalition formally chartered by the three parties.[5]

In September 2023, the Democratic Party left the coalition after Anies chose Muhaimin Iskandar, PKB's chairman, as his running mate, and PKB subsequently joined the coalition.[6]

Aftermath

edit

After it failed to win the 2024 presidential election, and with PKB and Nasdem joining Prabowo's coalition on 24[7][8] and 25[9] April 2024, respectively, the coalition disbanded on 26 April 2024.[10] On 30 April, Anies and Muhaimin formally dissolved the national teams and the coalition publicly.[11]

Former presidential candidate Anies has not taken a position whether or not he would join Prabowo's government, since he is not from a political party with a standardized stance.[12]
