Presidential candidate number 1, Anies Baswedan, revealed that the NasDem Party has now been hit by problems since running for his 2024 presidential election. In fact, according to him, as long as NasDem is part of the coalition of President Jokowi's government to carry Anies, the party led by Surya Paloh is quite safe and peaceful. "The NasDem Party is safe, peaceful, calm, until it nominates the presidential candidate yesterday. After nominating, the NasDem Party is full of challenges. I don't need to tell you, you all know," said Anies at the NasDem consolidation event with community leaders in Karawang, West Java, Monday, November 4. Anies explained that this challenge came from parties who did not want any change. Without mentioning who, Anies saw that the party was uncomfortable with the concept of change initiated by Anies. "There are forces that don't want change. Because when it comes to change, there are those who (previously) were comfortable who might feel disturbed," said Anies. Meanwhile, Anies emphasized that the discourse on changes he brought actually brought justice to all elements of society. "Raising small ones without reducing big ones. So, big ones don't have to be afraid because we will not be big enemies, because the big ones will also encourage small ones to develop," he said. On that basis, Anies invited the people of Karawang to choose him and Muhaimin Iskandar as a pair of presidential and vice presidential candidates on voting day on February 14, 2024. "If we want to change his fate, we can't wait for other people to do it. Is that right?" said Anies.

"This is an opportunity. You only have 6 hours, ladies and gentlemen. The 14th (February) is 7 am until 1 pm. After 2 o'clock, you start to regret it if you don't. 7 to 1 o'clock, that's when Indonesia determines the direction forward, the direction of change or the direction of sustainability. We offer changes," he continued.
