After Meeting Prabowo, Surya Paloh Calls The Moment Anies Is Not Forward To The Jakarta Regional Election

Chairman of the NasDem Party, Surya Paloh, stated that his party failed to carry Anies Baswedan as a candidate for governor in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.

Paloh emphasized this after meeting with the General Chair of the Gerindra Party as well as the elected President of the Republic of Indonesia for the period 2024-2029, Prabowo Subianto at his residence on Jalan Kertanegara IV, South Jakarta, Thursday, August 15, 2024.

"Yes, it is clear (the reason for carrying Anies, ed)," Paloh told reporters.

Paloh claimed to have informed Anies regarding the cancellation of the investigation for the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election.

According to Paloh, it is no longer the right moment for Anies to participate in the Jakarta Pilkada contestation.

"I have informed Mr. Anies. Mr. Anies, as your younger brother, this is not your moment to run in the Greater Jakarta regional elections. We are looking for a more precise momentum in the future. There is an understanding," he said.
