Presidential candidate number 1 Anies Baswedan criticized the issue of the integrity pact to win the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair number three Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD in the 2024 presidential election. The integrity pact of the inactive Sorong Regent Yan Piet Mosso was signed by the Head of the West Papua Regional State Intelligence Agency (BIN) Brigadier General TNI Detains Sopian Parulian Silaban. If this is true, Anies asks Sopian Parulian Silaban to resign from his position because he is considered not neutral. "If Kabinda (Sopian) has aspirations, just step down from Kabinda. It's okay. But if he is still Kabinda, he must be neutral. So, there what we will fix is not people who don't have personal aspirations," said Anies at Gedung Joeang, Central Jakarta, Friday, November 17th. According to the former Governor of DKI Jakarta, the issue of integrity pact winning one of the presidential and vice presidential pairs could reduce people's trust in the country because state officials are no longer neutral. When a state official uses his position for politics, Anies views them as lowering the country's status. "Once someone is inaugurated, sworn in, then his signature, his words, his actions are in the name of the state not in the personal name. That's why it is what lowers people's trust that makes people no longer see the state as an institution that guards the ethics of law," he said. As previously reported, the integrity pact signed by Yan was spread when he was caught in the KPK's arrest operation (OTT). The signing is known to the West Papua Regional Chamber of Police Brigadier General TNI Silaban but no date has been included other than August 2023. There are four points in the document. Here are the details: 1. Fully support and implement the success of the central government program in the Sorong Regency Region; 2. Will not commit criminal acts of corruption, collusion, and nepotism (KKN); 3. Fully reject all activities that are separatism and activities of the Free Papua movement in the region; 4. Ready to seek support and contribute votes in the 2024 presidential election, at least 60 percent + 1 for Ganjar Pranowo's victory as President of the Republic of Indonesia in Sorong Regency; 5. Bersedia menjaga kesedarasi sepenuhnya berkaitan dengan pembuatan Pakta Integrity ini. Later, the issue of the integrity pact was denied by the Head of the National Winning Team (TPN) Arsjad Rasjid. He made sure he never asked the regional head to sign such a letter. This was conveyed by Arsjad in response to the integrity pact that was spread and signed by the inactive Sorong Regent, Yan Piet Mosso. One of the points in the document said Yan had to play Ganjar in Sorong Regency. "Obviously TPN has never done it, asking people to sign a letter of support called an integrity pact or all kinds of things," Arsjad told reporters at the High End building, Jakarta, Wednesday, November 15.

Arsjad asked the public not to believe it immediately. "So please also look at the date and all kinds of things and with whom," he said.
