Jakarta –
Presidential candidate number 1 Anies Baswedan did not comment much regarding National Team Co-Captain AMIN Sudirman Said, who was warned by NasDem following a statement regarding communication with external parties. Anies said the coalition for change was still intact.
Quoted detikJogja, Sunday (31/12/2023), Anies was asked by journalists after attending the SMA N 2 Jogja reunion at a cafe in Jogja City. Anies initially only answered briefly when asked about the issue of internal rifts within the AMIN National Team.
“Everything is intact,” explained Anies as he left the media crew, Sunday (31/12/2023).
The journalist then asked again about the condition of the AMIN National Team. However, Anies did not answer and immediately left the media crew at the location.
After the reunion event, Anies attended the inauguration of his winning command post in the Kotabaru area, Jogja City. After the event, journalists asked similar questions again.
However, again Anies was reluctant to answer and just smiled while shaking his head. He immediately left the location without answering journalists’ questions.
Previously, Chairman of the NasDem DPP Bakhtiar Ahmad Sibarani said that Sudirman Said communicated with other presidential candidate teams. He asked Sudirman to restrain himself.
“Firstly, the attitude of Sudirman Said, who is currently reportedly communicating with teams from other presidential candidates to build a coalition, is a personal attitude,” said Bakhtiar in a written statement, Saturday (30/12/2023).
“Secondly, the current NasDem Party, according to the direction of Mr. Ketum Surya Paloh, Mr. Waketum Ahmad Ali continues to build communication with the people as the main party coalition to win Mr. Anies. So the coalition is with the people, not with other presidential candidates,” he continued.
Bakhtiar considered Sudirman too maneuverable. This is not in accordance with the views of the Anies-Muhaimin coalition party.
“As the supporting party, of course we, including Mr. Ahmad Ali, have fought extraordinarily hard to win AMIN, I, who is close to him, have seen that. Therefore, Sudirman Said, don’t overdo it, watch your attitude, watch your words,” he said.
AMIN spokesperson defended Sudirman Said
AMIN National Team spokesperson, Muhammad Ramli Rahim, agreed with Sudirman Said’s statement about building communication with all other parties. Ramli said that no opponent is truly an enemy.
“From the start, Mr. Anies had a commitment that in contesting the 2024 presidential election, no opponent would become an enemy,” said Ramli, in his written statement.
He reminded all the winning teams, both the AMIN National Team and the supporting parties, to remain focused on what they were fighting for in the 2024 presidential election. He said there was no need to close communication with other parties.
“There is no need to close communication, let alone hate each other with people who are political opponents of the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair that we are running,” he stressed.
“Mr Sudirman is right that we should not close the communication space. Moreover, from many survey results, AMIN’s votes continue to increase,” he continued.
Furthermore, Ramli also responded to NasDem asking Sudirman Said to maintain his attitude. According to him, this statement is not NasDem’s official position.
“The statement that is coming out now is only from Bang Ahmad Ali’s people at Nasdem, not an official Nasdem statement, if it’s the Chairman of the SP or Secretary General or Nasdem Spokesperson talking, that’s just Nasdem,” he explained.
Ramli asked Anies Baswedan to invite Sudirman Said and Ahmad Ali to sit together.
“And Mr. Anies should invite Mr. SS and Mr. AA to sit down together and not let this become ongoing public consumption,” said Ramli.
