Anies' Sweet Sayings To Megawati On Her Birthday

Presidential Candidate Anies Baswedan (Timnas Amin)

JAKARTA - Presidential candidate number 1, Anies Baswedan, wishes the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia Megawati Soekarnoputri a happy birthday. This was conveyed by Anies before starting the campaign in Yogyakarta. "Let us wish Mrs. Megawati a happy birthday. May Mrs. Mega always be healthy, extended in her life, always in happiness, blessings, and continues to be a firm, strong pole in maintaining our constitution and democracy," said Anies at Adi Sutjipto Airport, Tuesday, January 23. For Anies, the General Chairperson of the PDI-P is a political figure who is consistent in maintaining democracy. So far, Anies sees Megawati respecting the rule of law and constitution. "On this day of the year, we can take lessons from Mrs. Mega as a person who maintains the constitution, maintains democracy. May a healthy longevity always be," said Anies. Megawati, according to Anies, is a President who can maintain the implementation of general elections neutrally. This is evidenced by the election of President 2024 from a coalition of parties that is different from her. "As president, in that election, she is not a winner. Then when she does not win in the presidential election, being outside the opposition, the opposition is steadfast, until later returning to government again. When there is another lure of extension (the term of office of the president), it does not budge," he explained. Previously, PDI-P Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto revealed that the 5th anniversary of the President was celebrated simply by being attended by his closest people alone. As in previous years, Megawati's birthday was held modestly and attended by her family and close friends, said Hasto in his statement in Jakarta, Tuesday.

He said all PDIP cadres in various regions also celebrated Megawati's birthday with cultural activities. His colleagues will also share cones for the community to plant trees. Not only that, Hasto said the cadres also sent many birthday greeting videos to Megawati through him. The various video remarks will be broadcast on the Party's Cultural Agency's YouTube channel.
