JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that the investigation into the alleged corruption in the implementation of Formula E will continue. The declaration of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate by the NasDem Party will not interfere with the process. "This presidential candidate declaration is still in its early stages, it is not necessarily nominated when registration begins. I make sure the investigation process will continue," said KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata to reporters at the Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, October 3. It is certain that the investigation will continue no matter what happens. The KPK will continue to investigate allegations of corruption in the international racing event to completion. "I make sure the investigation process will continue until a bright spot is found whether it is a criminal case or a administrative violation or maybe a civil case," he said. "We are still continuing this. We are not affected by the declaration in question as a presidential candidate by a political party," continued Alexander. As previously reported, Anies has been declared a candidate for president of the NasDem Party. He admitted that he was ready to run in the 2024 presidential election. "We accept Bismillah, we are ready," said Anies after being declared as NasDem presidential candidate at NasDem Tower, Gondangdia, Central Jakarta, Monday, October 3. Anies believes that his advancement as a presidential candidate will serve him. So, he will continue to try. "By asking for prayers, God willing, this long journey will not be a tough journey but a light journey," he said. "We prepare this effort as worship," continued Anies.
