Anies Cancels Campaign To Polewali Mandar Due To Transportation Obstacles

Presidential candidate number 1, Anies Baswedan, canceled his visit to Polewali Mandar Regency, West Sulawesi, to campaign for a number of locations in the area on Tuesday, or the 43rd day of the 2024 presidential and vice presidential election campaign.

He made an announcement about the canceled visit via video recordings and admitted that the cancellation of the visit to Polewali Mandar was caused by transportation problems that were not available.

"Last night we received news that there were technical problems, so the transportation from Mamuju to Polewali Mandar was not available, because we had to not stop by Polewali Mandar," Anies said in the video reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, January 9.

Anes explained that before planning to go to Polewali Mandar, he was in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan. He plans to fly to Mamuju to transit in Mamuju for the next time to Polewali Mandar.

Through the video, Anies also conveyed a message of struggle to Polewali Mandar residents. Even though he did not meet physically, according to him, the spirit of struggle has always been a unit.

"God willing, in time we will return to Polewali Mandar to work together again interacting together for a struggle," he said.

Anies also reminded that currently there is only about one month left before the voting day for the 2024 General Election. The former governor of DKI Jakarta also asked the people of Polewali Mandar to convey the spirit of change to his relatives and family.

"Whoever is found, convey that we are following changes, all basic necessities are affordable, job opportunities are available easily, education costs are affordable, they are all part of our efforts," he said.

Previously, Anies was scheduled to visit two points of Polewali Mandar Regency this Tuesday. Among them are greeting residents at Wonomulyo Market, Polewali Mandar Regency, at 09.15 WITA, and attending community gatherings and sympathizers throughout West Sulawesi at the Girl Building, Mamuju, at 10.15 WITA.
