JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said he would still focus on carrying out his duties as regional head even though he had been promoted as a presidential candidate for the 2024 NasDem Party election. So, when his term of office ends after October 16, Anies will only intensify his strategy towards the next political contestation. "Allow us to complete until October 16. So, until October 16, I will still focus on matters in Jakarta. After that, we will focus on others. Now Jakarta is still focused," said Anies at Muara Angke Harbor, North Jakarta, Monday, October 3. He gave this focus by going straight to DKI City Hall to work with his staff after returning from the announcement agenda of the presidential candidate from the NasDem Party DPP office. "This afternoon we immediately met with all of our friends, the Assistant, Pak Sekda, me too, to discuss our steps in Jakarta," he said. For information, the NasDem Party has appointed DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election. The declaration was delivered at NasDem Tower, Gondangdia, Central Jakarta today, Monday, October 3. "The choice of the NasDem presidential candidate is the best of the best. This is how nasdem finally gave a figure, Anies Baswedan," said the chairman of the NasDem Party, Surya Paloh, in front of Anies Baswedan. Surya said Anies was the best person. So, there is no reason for the NasDem Party not to nominate it. "Why Anies Baswedan? The answer is, why not the best," he said. Responding, Anies admitted that he was ready to become a presidential candidate promoted by the NasDem Party. Anies believes that his advancement as a presidential candidate will serve him. Therefore, the former Minister of Education and Culture (Mendikbud) will continue to strive. "We accept Bismillah, we are ready. By asking for all prayers, God willing, this long journey will not be a tough journey but a light journey. We prepare this effort as worship," said Anies.
