Chairman of the Masyumi Party, Ahmad Yani, stated that his party supports the presidential and vice presidential candidates, Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar in the 2024 election.

"The Masyumi Party has decided to provide full support for the declaration of the Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN) pairs," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, September 5.

The pair Anies Rasyid Baswedan-MuhaiminIskandar is currently promoted by three political parties in parliament, namely the NasDem, PKB and PKS parties.

Yani, who used to be a PPP politician, emphasized that support for the AMIN pair will be formalized in the future. One of the moments was held at the Masyumi Party National Coordination Meeting (Rakornas) which will be held in Jakarta.

"The Masyumi Party will mobilize all management nodes starting from the DPP, DPW DPD, DPC throughout Indonesia, sympathizers to Masyumi's extended family to guard and provide support so that this pair is won," he said.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the NasDem Party DPP, Effendy Choirie (Gus Choi), said that the friendship from the Masyumi Party figures was to build togetherness, build collaboration with the NasDem Party, the main goal of which was to support the Anies Rasyid Baswedan pair from Muhaimin Iskandar.

"We welcome the support from Masyumi, we welcome it and the next steps will be taken to win Mas Anies and Mas Muhaimin," he said.
