Presidential candidate number 1 Anies Baswedan recalled the message of the 10th Vice President and 12 Jusuf Kalla so that there were cadres of the Islamic Student Association (HMI) who could become president of Indonesia.

"The National Conference (Munas) of the HMI Alumni Corps (KAHMI) in Palu, JK said HMI has presented so many cadres in various positions, including the representative president of the Republic of Indonesia," said Anies when giving a speech at the declaration of the HMI extended family supporting the candidate pair Anies Baswedan-MuhaiminIskandar (AMIN) in Jakarta as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, December 27.

At that time, Anies continued, JK hoped that HMI cadres could rise to the level and not only be vice president.

JK has also declared support for the AMIN candidate pair in the 2024 presidential election.

JK is an HMI cadre who serves as the 10th and 12th Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia. Meanwhile, Anies Baswedan is an HMI cadre who is currently a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

"God willing, we will fully color Indonesia in the future, which will bring about changes," said Anies.

Previously, Jusuf Kalla emphasized his political stance in supporting the pair of candidates for the 2024 presidential election.

"So, in Makassar, I convey my attitude (supporting AMIN). Hopefully there will be benefits for all of you," said Jusuf Kalla while attending the friendship event held by the Presidium of the South Sulawesi People's Movement for the AMIN Winning National Team at the IMIM Islamic Center Building, Makassar, South Sulawesi, Tuesday night (19/12).
