JAKARTA - The General Elections Commission (KPU) announced the schedule for the general meeting campaign or open participants for the 2024 General Election. One of the schedules that have been set is the campaign schedule for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates.

On the last day of the campaign period, February 10, presidential and vice presidential candidates number 1 Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar chose to campaign at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS).

Anies explained the reason why JIS became the choice of an open campaign location on the last day before the calm period. The former governor of DKI Jakarta admitted that he had his own emotional memories of JIS.

"Yes, of course (has emotional memories), lah. The simplest (reason), the capacity can," said Anies in Cikini, Central Jakarta, Thursday, January 18.

According to Anies, JIS is a symbol of the sweat of Indonesian children. This is because the construction of JIS, which was carried out when Anies was the Governor of DKI, did not use foreign workers as construction workers.

"All of them are Indonesian biological children, educated by Indonesian educational institutions and they produce world-class buildings that are included in one of the projects, which in the national project of geography is called megaprojects," said Anies.

JIS, for Anies, is the most suitable location for him to campaign for the independence of the nation's children.

Not only that, Anies also feels proud because JIS is a building that carries the concept of green building or environmentally friendly which won the first platinum level certificate in Indonesia.

"Here is an environmental standard building, a green building with a platinum level. So if this is in this car there is a silver, gold, and platinum level. This is a platinum level," explained Anies.
