JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan smiled when asked about political parties that were getting serious about proposing to him as a presidential candidate for the 2024 General Election.

After several questions from the media crew regarding his approach with political parties to his high electability in recent survey results, Anies finally opened his voice.

After communicating with a number of parties, Anies views the political parties as not just playing around in finding the figures who will be promoted in the presidential election. According to Anies, the selection of presidential and vice presidential candidates, including himself, was carried out by political parties seriously.

"In the party, I also see that everyone is serious about this. They don't have a term about genitals. There's nothing about it. They think about it all seriously. I know because I communicate with many friends in the party," said Anies when met in the Jagakarsa area, South Jakarta, Monday, September 26.

"From there, I also heard that the conversation about their conversation was not just surveys. There were many other factors that they had a conversation about.

So, while waiting for the establishment of political parties to carry him, Anies admitted that he was focused on completing his duties as Governor of DKI Jakarta until October 16.

"So, we respect the process, and I am also focusing on Jakarta. It's better if I finish it here first, while the party is also in process," said Anies.

Some time ago, Anies was caught together with the Chairman of the Democratic General Chair (Ketum) Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), Ketum Nasdem Surya Paloh, Chairman of PKS Ahmad Syaikhu. Their togetherness was also attended by the 10th and 12th Vice Presidents of the Republic of Indonesia Jusuf Kalla (JK).

The togetherness of the five figures left a warm moment immortalized in the photo together. Interestingly in the photo, Anies and AHY standing between Surya Paloh were seen flanked by JK and Syaikhu.

Anies explained that their togetherness took place at the child wedding reception of the Chairman of Commission VII DPR RI Nasdem Faction, Sugeng Pratowo.

"So, it was the wedding of Mr. Sugeng Suparwo's daughter last night. I witnessed the afternoon, then there was a reception at night. That's all," said Anies when met at the National Monument area, Central Jakarta, Monday, September 19.

Anies said, initially the five figures gathered and chatted about the wedding reception. Then, the discussion began to widen.

When asked about the political discussion towards the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres) between him, JK, and the three general chairmen, Anies did not answer straightforwardly, but also did not argue.

"Everything was discussed," he said.
