Baswedan only smiled slightly when he learned of the allegations of Jokowi’s intervention. He did not want to elaborate on the matter. “All processes are still continuing, just let it flow,” Baswedan said when approached after attending a reunion with the DKI Jakarta Pancasila Youth MPW in Pejaten, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (19/6/2024). Furthermore, Baswedan said that he currently prioritizes issues related to the well-being of Jakarta residents over other matters. “For us, the main issue is the well-being of Jakarta residents. It’s not about who will be the partner, that’s not the point, and the process is still long, just let it flow,” Anies Baswedan said.

In response to Jokowi’s Intention to Continue Social Assistance Distribution Ahead of Pilkada This was in response to President Joko Widodo’s intention to prolong distributing welfare assistance in the form of rice until the end of 2024. “We not only detect meddling but witness it plainly and openly, in Javanese it’s clear as day,” said Hidayat at the Head Office of PDI Perjuangan, Diponegoro Road, Jakarta, on Thursday (16/5/2024). “Meaning, the involvement is very clear, very visible. It’s very evident,” he continued. Djarot Saiful Hidayat stressed that the prolongation of social aid until December amounts to an misuse of authority. Perjuangan Party Asks Election Commission and Supervisory Body to Take Action Therefore, the Perjuangan Party called on the Election Commission (KPU) and the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) to look into these signs. Hidayat desires that the overreach by President Jokowi, which occurred during the 2024 Presidential race, will not be repeated in the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections. “We really request the election organizers, to carefully oversee. Including the media and the youth. Especially since the social assistance will be continued until December,” he stressed.
