Presidential Candidate Anies Baswedan met Ustaz Abdul Somad (UAS) while campaigning in Riau (Ist)

JAKARTA - Presidential candidate number 1, Anies Baswedan met Ustaz Abdul Somad (UAS) while campaigning in Riau. When receiving Anies' visit to his residence, UAS expressed political support for Anies in the 2024 presidential election contestation. This was marked by the use of a brown jacket that reads AMIN or Anies-Cak Imin's partner to UAS. This statement of presidential support for Anies, according to UAS, also answers his followers' questions. "Today, just open Instagram, where are we going from the morning, 'Ustaz.' Open WA 'Ustaz, where are we joining Ustaz?'. I'm tired of answering. Well, this is one rowing, 2-3 islands are too far behind. UAS contributes to the democratic party of the Republic of Indonesia on February 14, 2024," said UAS in Riau, Wednesday, December 13 night. UAS admitted that his support for Anies was given because of the personal closeness that had been built since a few years ago. If he was in Jakarta, UAS claimed to have always been met by Anies to stay in touch. "So, this friendship has been a long time. If he has a match, he will easily collaborate or interact. So if he is not appropriate, he will stay away. That's how he feels," said UAS. Continuing, Anies asked UAS to pray for him in the 2024 presidential election and asked for UAS's discretion to give directions during the political contation.

"We ask for your prayers, we ask from him as a person who has a wide view of wisdom and in it knowledge of religion, hopefully, he can become a directive, a reminder in the journey in the mandate that we are working on now," explained Anies. Anies continued his campaign around Riau. Before meeting UAS, Anies visited a slum village in Sail District, had lunch with Riau figures, had a meeting with the community at the Pekanbaru Sports Hall, and attended Anies' Desak event at the Pekanbaru Sail Market.
