JAKARTA - Anies Baswedan's presidential candidate (readpres) alluded to the political practice of nepotism when participating in the 'Senam & Jalan Together AMIN' on Jalan Boulevard GDC, Depok, West Java, Saturday, October 28.

Anies stated that his party would not allow nepotism to continue to live and develop in Indonesia.

"We want not to nepotism live in this country anymore? Do you want to be nepotism in life like before? We move because we want to restore relations, restore ethics in the state," said Anies in front of his supporters, Saturday, October 28.

According to Anies, Indonesia does not only belong to one family but belongs to all citizens of the nation. So he said, the practice of nepotism should not be revived in the country.

"This country does not belong to one or two families. The founders found this republic not for his family, but for all Indonesian people," he said.

Anies realized that the struggle to realize change would face great strength. However, he and his vice presidential candidate Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin are optimistic that they can face the challenges that exist.

"We don't have much money, but when we gather, we give birth to extraordinary strength. Because this republic was built not with material power," said Anies.
