BOGOR - The presidential and vice presidential candidate pair number 1 Anies Rasyid Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar is targeting 80 percent of the votes in the Bogor Regency, West Java region in the 2024 presidential election.

Head of the Regional Campaign Team (TKD) Anies-Muhaimin (AMIN), Haru Suandharu, during a campaign at GOR Laga Satria, Pakansari Stadium, Cibinong, admitted that he was optimistic that he could get more votes in Bogor Regency.

"It seems that one of Pak Anies' winning bases in West Java is here (Bogor Regency). Hopefully it can reach 80 percent (of the vote)," said Harudilansir ANTARA, Tuesday, November 28.

According to him, the AMIN pair has a target of a number of changes for the people of Bogor Regency, namely improving welfare by lowering food prices.

"Starting from the price of food, we want to reduce it so that people do not suffer. In addition, he wants to encourage the field of work to make it easier, especially for the millennial generation, not to let them be pessimistic about the future," Haru said.

In addition, he said, the AMIN pair will also encourage the expansion of the Bogor Regency area, which is now the area with the largest population in Indonesia.

Meanwhile, Anies Baswedan during a speech to thousands of his supporters at the Satria Match Hall revealed a number of reasons for starting the campaign period in the Bogor Regency, West Java.

Anies said Bogor Regency is an area very close to Jakarta.

Bogor Regency is also the area with the highest population in West Java, reaching 5.6 million people. According to him, West Java is an important province to be controlled in the presidential election contestation (Pilpres).

"So we specifically came from Jakarta to West Java and started in Bogor Regency, which is one of the largest districts in West Java Province. Alhamdulillah, we can see for ourselves the extraordinary enthusiasm of the residents," said the former Governor of DKI Jakarta.

Anies in front of his supporters offered a number of ideas of change with a vision of bringing people's lives to a better place, from cheap food to affordable housing.

"People in Bogor Regency and many throughout Indonesia have difficulty getting a home because of the KPR provisions that do not side with those who are small and those who work in the non-formal sector," said Anies.
