fter having its candidate Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono eliminated in the first round of the Jakarta gubernatorial election, The National Mandate Party (PAN) has officially shifted its support to Anies Baswedan and Sandiaga Uno.
PAN chairman Zulkifli Hasan said Wednesday that he considered both Anies and Sandiaga to the capacity to lead the city as “proven by their satisfying track records”. He added that PAN members were ready to join the campaign trail to boost Anies’ electability.
“We will also deploy two people to each polling station on election day for security reasons,” Zulkifli said during a declaration of support for the pair.
He further said there were no political transactions behind the support, emphasizing that PAN did not ask for any money from Anies or Sandiaga.
“This support is for Jakarta residents, we hope Anies and Sandiaga can unite us all,” he continued.
