Admits Political Parties Offer To Advance West Java Gubernatorial Election, Anies Is Still Thinking About It

JAKARTA - It was revealed that Anies Baswedan received an offer from one of the political parties (political parties) to run in the West Java gubernatorial election. This offer came after Anies did not get a ticket to run as a candidate for governor of Jakarta.

"It is true that there was a special request from one of the political parties and we also know that it has met the requirements to also register Mr. Anies Baswedan to run in the West Java Pilkada," said Anies spokesman Sahrin Hamid when met on Jalan Brawijaya, South Jakarta, Thursday, August 29.

However, Anies is still considering an offer to undergo contestation outside Jakarta until the overseas period ends today at 23.59 local time.

"Pak Anies is considering it seriously and yes, we'll just have to wait and see what the decision will be," continued Sahrin.

Later, the issue that developed was that PDIP wanted to carry Anies forward in the West Java gubernatorial election, after canceling the Jakarta Pilkada for offering his own cadre, namely Pramono Anung-Rano Karno.

Regarding the certainty of who the political parties offered tickets in the West Java gubernatorial election, including Anies' willingness to register at the last second, Sahrin said this would be immediately announced by the former Governor of DKI Jakarta.

"We'll wait for Mr. Anies later, I think Mr. Anies will convey the answer in person. What is clear is that we appreciate and appreciate what the party has conveyed to Mas Anies directly," he explained.

Previously, the Chairman of the West Java PDIP DPD, Ono Surono, said that his party would surprise him about the candidate for governor and deputy governor of West Java. Ono also asked for prayers for West Java residents so that PDIP could register the Paslon with the West Java KPU on the last day.

Ono said West Java is a large area with the largest voting rights in Indonesia. Currently, he said, PDIP is currently still working on the pair of candidates for governor and deputy governor very carefully and carefully to produce leaders who can solve problems in West Java.

"For the Candidates for Governor and Deputy Governor of West Java who will be promoted are figures who will surprise the people of West Java," Ono told reporters, Thursday, August 29.

"So this figure is a figure that will be accepted by the people of West Java, even though the person concerned may not be a PDI-P cadre and the pairing could be from other parties," he continued.
