Candidate for president - candidate for vice president pair number 1, Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar, arrived at the debate location organized by the General Election Commission (KPU) at the Jakarta Convention Center, Friday (22/12/2023).
"The national team has indeed advised Muhaimin to campaign more and target the votes of East Java and Central Java. This is because those regions are a growing vote bank and a great potential for the AMIN duo," said Ramli.
It is not surprising that campaign activities will be more intense in these two provinces. According to Ramli, Muhaimin, who is also the Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB) and the winning party in the 2019 elections in East Java province, must maintain his victory by reaching out to the people more. Victory in East Java will affect the national victory.
When giving a speech in front of PKB cadres, volunteers, and AMIN supporters, Muhaimin stated that there is still 30 days left to further strengthen the alliance and win in East Java. He believes that a victory in East Java can manifest a spirit of change and lead to winning the 2024 presidential election.
The national team has indeed advised Muhaimin to campaign more and target votes from East Java and Central Java. This is because those regions are potential strongholds and have a large number of voters for the AMIN pair.
"All candidates, party cadres, as well as coalition party volunteers have been assigned to come together and our task for the next 30 days is to approach the people, greet them, and provide a picture of AMIN's vision and mission," said Muhaimin.
According to Muhaimin, the sound in East Java Province is a barometer of victory for the 2024 Election. Each election, PKB always becomes one of the winning parties in East Java. He is not worried about the survey results so far that put the Anies-Muhaimin pair in third place in electability in East Java.
For Muhaimin, survey results only serve as motivation and encouragement for AMIN and the entire winning team to continue to strive to win the 2024 Elections. "Because in surveys we are always placed in third place, we use that as motivation and encouragement. We don't need to discuss third or second place now, the most important thing is that we use all of those surveys as evaluations to move even faster," said Muhaimin.
Strengthen the win
On that occasion, Muhaimin also expressed his gratitude for the presence of Jusuf Kalla at the AMIN cadre and volunteer consolidation event. Jusuf Kalla's presence adds strength to AMIN's ability to win the 2024 election. For him, Jusuf Kalla is a national figure who is rich in experience, having served as vice president twice as well as being a successful entrepreneur.
