On 3 October 2022, NasDem Party leader Surya Paloh officially declared Anies Baswedan as their presidential candidate for the 2024 Indonesian presidential election.[2] 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.[3] On 24 March 2023, the coalition formally rebranded as the Coalition of Change for Unity and the coalition formally chartered by the three parties.[4]
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.[5]
