Presidential Candidate (candidate) number 1 Anies Baswedan (DOK VOI/Diah Ayu)

Presidential candidate (candidate) number 1 Anies Baswedan responded to presidential candidate number 2 Prabowo Subianto who will embrace all camps in the future government. This was conveyed by Prabowo on Wednesday, February 14 evening after the quick count results or a quick count of the votes for the 2024 presidential election came by stating that Prabowo-Gibran was superior to other candidate pairs. Anies was reluctant to welcome the invitation. According to him, the stages of calculating and recapitulating the official votes by the General Elections Commission (KPU) have not been completed, so there is no certainty which candidate pair won the presidential election. "The calculation has not been completed. Just complete it first, one by one," said Anies at the Al-Azhar Mosque, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Friday, February 16. Anies also responded to the plan for the candidate for vice president (cawapres) number 2, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who would invite other candidate pairs, including Anies and Muhaimin Iskandar and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD. "Yes, later when everything is done," Anies replied. Previously, Prabowo Subianto stated that he wanted to embrace all strengths in Indonesia if he won the 2024 presidential election. This was stated by Prabowo in his speech at Istora Senayan. "If it is given the mandate of Prabowo-Gibran, I will embrace all the strengths in Indonesia. I will not leave anything," said Prabowo on Wednesday, February 14 evening. Prabowo was willing not to differentiate, neither his supporters nor, when he was elected president.

"I will be president for all Indonesian people, both those who vote for me and those who do not vote for me, both those who love me and those who hate me," he said.
