Dream - Vice presidential candidate number 1, Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin), was mentioned to be inconsistent regarding the development of the National Capital City (IKN) Nusantara by Gibran Rakabuming Raka during the vice presidential debate some time ago. This is because Cak Imin, who initially supported the IKN project, has now turned against it after choosing to run as vice president alongside Anies Baswedan.

Regarding this matter, Cak Imin explained his support for the development of IKN. Cak Imin said his support at that time was because he was part of the government coalition. He admitted that he has been continuously evaluating the mega project. "Oh yes, we used to be part of the coalition, and what we conveyed was not trivial matters, we need a genuine scale of priorities," said Cak Imin, as quoted from merdeka.com, Monday, December 25, 2023.

"Given the conditions, he turned around and criticized the development of IKN. Because, the funds needed, approximately Rp466 trillion, should have been used for other priorities. "Because if not evaluated. We supported IKN before because we hoped for a large investment to come in, the consultant was even a former British PM. But nothing came in. Should we continue with that priority? That's why we evaluate," said Cak Imin."

Cak Imin also explained about PKB's attitude as the party that made the IKN Law. However, over time, an evaluation is needed because what was planned before did not go according to the scenario. "Of course, we are the ones who made the law. We were involved in making it, but with the assumption that there would be a former prime minister as a consultant, a consultant who would not burden the state budget," he said.
