JAKARTA - The National Winning Team (Timnas) Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN) said the movement of support on the internet and social media (medsos) to AMIN was an organic result. He claims AMIN has no money to pay influencers.

"One of the voters' targets is the younger generation and TikTok is a means to convey the vision and mission of the AMIN pair. We don't have money for influencers," said Deputy Content Deputy for the AMIN National Team Creator, Sonny Muhammad in Jakarta, Friday, January 5, quoted by Antara.

Sonny revealed that the AMIN national team did not have enough money to pay influencers, aka influencers, to convey the vision and mission and ideas of the AMIN pair.

According to him, currently the volunteer movement in cyberspace and social media is pure or without interference from the AMIN national team because they move without special command.

Therefore, said Sonny, when there was a declaration from the Presidential Tiktoker AMIN 2024 (TAP24), his party immediately tried to make them more massive in conveying positive things about AMIN.

"We only facilitate. From the AMIN national team, there is absolutely nothing because this is truly organic," he said.

With the joining of this tiktoker volunteer, he hopes to reach all circles, especially young people and Generation Z who are familiar with cyberspace.

"What is clear is that this is a huge potential, so far one of the targets of voters is millennials and Generation Z is quite large. TikTok is a means for us to describe the vision and mission and ideas of AMIN," he said.

Meanwhile, TAP24 General Chair Azhar added that these tiktokers are people who are struggling in cyberspace, especially on the TikTok platform to echo the narrative of change.

According to him, volunteers who are members of TAP24 are purely from conscience without being interfered with by anything because the struggle being carried out is for change and guarding the AMIN pair to win in the 2024 presidential election.

"We gathered to become volunteers to voice changes without any coercion," he said.
