His polite and humble personality," he said in a written statement, Monday, August 14, was confiscated by Antara.

Said said that Ganjar's good track record must be conveyed to the entire community. According to him, leaders with good track records are very important, because the challenges of the nation in the future are very difficult.

"This potential is what we will continue to convey to the people, that in fact they have a presidential candidate who has a qualitative advantage, which can answer the challenges of the future of the nation and state," he said.

Meanwhile, Hanura Party politician Inas Nasrullah invited all supporting parties and volunteers to focus on making strategies for Ganjar's victory.
