Chairman of the DPP PAN Saleh Partaonan Daulay quipped Anies Baswedan who wanted to run again as a candidate for governor in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. Saleh was surprised that Anies, who is not a party cadre, always wanted to run for the general election (election).
Saleh initially said that PAN proposed Deputy Chairman of the DPRD Zita Anjani to become a candidate for deputy governor (cawagub) in Jakarta. According to him, it is natural for political parties to prioritize their cadres to be championed in the 2024 Pilkada.
"So all parties will definitely encourage the party first, later simulated with other parties, if it is suitable, then it will be combined, this is still a simulation process, it's still a long time for Mas Yandri to say," Saleh said at a press conference at the PAN DPP office, South Jakarta, June 27.
Saleh then quipped Anies who did not have a party, but was confident to run again in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. In fact, the former governor of DKI Jakarta has just run for president (candidate) in the 2024 presidential election. But he lost to the candidate for the Advanced Indonesia Coalition, Prabowo Subianto.
"Well, now why don't those who don't have a party nominate? It's also strange, you don't have a party but you always insist on running. Candidates for the presidential election, candidates for the governor election will be the mayor again, after that," said Saleh.
"So if we are natural, our candidates do have a party, our obligations," continued Saleh.

Salah is also optimistic that the cagub that PAN will carry will be able to compete against Anies. Moreover, he said, the candidate pair from KIM, namely Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka, managed to beat Anies, who at that time was paired with Muhaimin Iskandar in the 2024 presidential election.
"Asked if it's more or less like this, dare to compete with Anies in DKJ. Never mind in DKJ, in the presidential election alone we won," said Saleh.
"The fact is that you won, especially in DKJ. So there is no problem, so if you still want to go, go ahead," he said.
