Ready To Run For The 2024 Presidential Candidate, Volunteers Yakin Ada Partol Yang Mau Usung Anies Baswedan

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan stated that he is ready to run for president if there is a political party that carries him. He expressed this readiness in an interview with foreign media Reuters in Singapore two days ago.

However, Anies' readiness was actually questioned. Do you believe that there are political parties that carry?

In response, the Anies Baswedan volunteer team who are members of the Indonesian Collaboration Secretariat (SKI) believes that political parties will soon strengthen to support Anies Baswedan running for the 2024 presidential election. According to SKI, many parties have been waiting for Anies' open statement to be ready to be promoted as presidential candidates.

"It is estimated that Anies' ability to advance to the 2024 political arena which has been declared openly will soon be responded to with official support by political parties," said Secretary General of SKI, Raharja Waluya Jati in a statement, Saturday, September 17.

According to Raharja, Anies' readiness has been awaited by political parties who conducted an assessment to form a coalition to carry out the initiator of the 'Indonesia Teaching' program. Among them, NasDem, PKS, and Democrats.

Jati assessed that Anies' statement to move forward was in accordance with the aspirations of the community. Therefore, he believes Anies will soon get a political vehicle after expressing his willingness to run in the 2024 presidential election.

"We believe that parties that have a long-term orientation will be loyal to the people's aspirations line. They will minimize differences for the realization of people's prayers for the appearance of qualified national leaders," said Jati.

Previously, the National Awakening Party (PKB) was pessimistic about the steps taken by DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan who stated that he was ready to nominate himself as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election, if there was a political party carrying it. Because, finding a supporting party is not as easy as turning a hand.

Deputy Chairperson of PKB Jazilul Fawaid, said that no one forbade Anies to run as a presidential candidate. He also invited the former Minister of Education and Culture to register as a presidential candidate in 2024.

"No one forbids it. Please Mr. Anies go forward (the presidential candidate)," said Jazilul, Saturday, September 17.

However, the Deputy Chairperson of the MPR questioned Anies' determination to run as a presidential candidate. Because according to Jazilul, it is difficult for non-political candidates to run without any supporting parties and coalition political parties.

"Is it sure? It's not easy to find a supporting party," Jazilul ordered.
