Anies' Principle Of Losing Is An Opposition, Nasdem: Outside And Inside The Government Is Just As Honored

Presidential Candidate Anies Baswedan (Timnas Amin)

JAKARTA - The NasDem Party responded to Presidential Candidate number 1, Anies Baswedan, who said he held the principle that the winner of the presidential election was in government. While those who lost were outside the government. The chairman of the NasDem Party DPP, Ahmad Ali, assessed that the position inside and outside the government was equally honorable. "The principle is that outside and inside the government is equally honorable," said Ali to reporters, Thursday, March 1. However, Ali was reluctant to respond further whether NasDem would take a position outside or inside the government. Including the same attitude as Anies. Because according to him, currently his party is still waiting for the results of the official presidential election from the KPU. "What if it turns out that the results of the presidential election have not yet been responded to," said Ali. Previously, Presidential Candidate number 1 Anies Baswedan asked all parties to respect the work of the KPU to complete the recapitulation of the 2024 General Election. After the results were announced, Anies would only issue an official statement. This was conveyed by Anies in response to the possibility of himself not winning the 2024 presidential election. "If it turns out that the results change, what if it turns out that there is a second round? If it turns out that there is a different result? So we wait until March 20 (March 2024) then we will tell it later," Anies told reporters in the Kebayoran Baru area, South Jakarta, Wednesday, March 13.

Even so, the former Governor of DKI Jakarta emphasized that the position will be taken if he loses the 2024 presidential election. He adheres to the principle that the defeat will be outside the government. "It is true that in the election process there will always be winners in the government, who do not (win) are outside the government. I adhere to that principle alone," said Anies Baswedan.
