Presidential candidate number 1, Anies Baswedan, asked the public not to prohibit presidential and vice-presidential candidates from expressing promises during the 2024 election campaign period.

According to Anies, presidential and vice-presidential candidates are allowed to express their promises. The public, he continued, could accommodate the promise and collect it when elected as President and Vice President for the period 2024-2029.

"If someone brings a poster 'don't make a promise'. Oh, that's wrong with the poster. The poster should be'spread it, I'll collect it later'. That's it. Right, no?" Anies said at the NasDem consolidation event with community leaders in Karawang, West Java, Monday, November 4.

"Don't be forbidden to make promises. 'Give me your answer now, tomorrow I will collect the promise'," Anies continued.

On that basis, Anies asked the public to exercise their voting rights on voting day on February 14, 2024. Then, the public can collect the promise of the candidate who won the election.

"This is the campaign period, I want to invite all ladies and gentlemen to make choices. Be silent, don't vote, take responsibility for the consequences tomorrow. or make choices and collect their promises when they are elected," said Anies.

Anies said he and Muhaimin Iskandar, his accompanying vice presidential candidate, brought the concept of change in the current political contestation.

The former governor of DKI Jakarta for the 2017-2022 period said that the 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.
