JAKARTA - Anies Baswedan decided not to run as a candidate for Governor of West Java (Jabar). Anies' cancellation of the West Java gubernatorial election was confirmed by his spokesman, Sahrin Hamid.

"Anies did not advance in West Java," Sahrin told reporters, Thursday, August 29.

Previously, it was revealed that Anies received an offer from one of the political parties (political parties) to run in the West Java gubernatorial election. This offer came after Anies did not get a ticket to run as a candidate for governor of Jakarta.

"It is true that there was a special request from one of the political parties and we also know that it has met the requirements to also register Mr. Anies Baswedan to run in the West Java Pilkada," said Anies spokesman Sahrin Hamid when met on Jalan Brawijaya, South Jakarta.

Later, the issue that developed was that PDIP wanted to carry Anies forward in the West Java gubernatorial election, after canceling the Jakarta Pilkada for offering his own cadre, namely Pramono Anung-Rano Karno.

The chairman of the West Java PDIP DPD, Ono Surono, said this afternoon that his party would surprise him about the candidate for governor and deputy governor of West Java. Ono also asked West Java residents for prayers so that PDIP could register the Paslon with the West Java KPU on the last day.

Ono said West Java is a large area with the largest voting rights in Indonesia. Currently, he said, PDIP is currently still working on the pair of candidates for governor and deputy governor very carefully and carefully to produce leaders who can solve problems in West Java.

"For the Candidates for Governor and Deputy Governor of West Java who will be promoted are figures who will surprise the people of West Java," Ono told reporters, Thursday, August 29.

"So this figure is a figure that will be accepted by the people of West Java, even though the person concerned may not be a PDI-P cadre and the pairing could be from other parties," he continued.
