JAKARTA - The Labor Party has stated that it will not support Anies Baswedan in the 2024 presidential election. The name of the former Governor of DKI Jakarta has been crossed out from the convention for the 2024 presidential and vice-presidential candidates of the Labor Party. "The decision was made on September 11, 2023 yesterday to eliminate Mr. Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate in 2024," said Labor Party President Said Iqbal to reporters in Jakarta, Wednesday, September 13. Said explained that there are two reasons the Labor Party is no longer considering supporting Anies. First, because Anies spokesman Sudirman Said is considered to have'stabbed' the KSPI Labor Union and SPM. "No politics except FSPMI and KSPI, only those two unions who explicitly founded the Labor Party. So outside of that believe in me, the elite is not bounded downward. So yes, the empty message in picking signs but still respects," he explained.
"Therefore, Sudirman Said's attitude of 'driving' KSPI apparently affected the negative internal KSPI and FSPMI as one of the elements of the Labor Party, so that his support was eliminated. So Anies Baswedan could not be elected by the Labor Party," continued Said. Second, the Labor Party considered Anies Baswedan not a mandate and stabbed his friend from behind, even before becoming president.
"Friends think that not being a presidential candidate is not a mandate. Along with the news we got, being stabbed from behind has not become president, let alone being president," said Said. With Anies' name crossed out in the list of presidential candidate conventions, there is only the name of PDIP presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo and senior journalist Najwa Shihab who is the recommendation of the Labor Party. Including, Said Iqbal as the leader.

Later, Said said, the Labor Party will hold a meeting to determine the name of the presidential candidate who wants to be supported and announced on October 9.
"The team will have a meeting for 7 days, the recommendation will be issued, the meeting 1-7 October. Then finally the presidium meeting on 8-9 October will decide on 1 presidential candidate of the Labor Party's choice," he said.
The announcement of the name of the presidential candidate, added Said, will be made at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Senayan. He claimed that the presidential candidate of the Labor party's choice would get the support of 6.5-10 million votes.
"Later we will announce the presidential candidate at Gelora Bung Karno, 150 thousand workers from all over Indonesia will come to Gelora Bung Karno," he said. "The Labor Party promised that after mapping with God's permission, it would contribute 6.5-10 million votes nationally. Hopefully, it can increase the votes of the presidential candidate chosen by the Labor Party," Said added.
