JAKARTA | KBA – The figure of the presidential candidate of the NasDem Party, Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan, is increasingly popular in the people of East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT).
This was proven by Anies Baswedan’s Youth Troops (AMAN) who toured NTT for one week to various regencies and cities in the province which is also known as the Vatican of Indonesia, namely since Wednesday, January 18, 2023.
For one week, the new cross-faith volunteer knot declared on December 4, 2023 in Jakarta crossed the ocean and split the island of NTT to introduce the figure of Anies Baswedan.
They visited Larantuka on the islands of Flores, Lembata, Ende, and Runteng in Manggarai, none other than to realize their belief that the Governor of DKI Jakarta for the 2017-2022 period is the most suitable figure to lead the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, whose citizens consist of multi-ethnic people. ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-faith.
“The AMAN Warriors are not a political party and are not affiliated with any political party. The existence of pure AMAN Warriors wants to present healthy and quality democracy in Indonesia,” said AMAN Laskar General Chair Mr. Ervanus Tou to KBA News ahead of the national dialogue and declaration of support for Anies Baswedan in Ruteng, Manggarai, NTT, Monday, January 23, 2023.
After one week of exploring various districts and cities in NTT, this young Catholic native born in Manggarai really feels that the people of NTT are ready to accept and make changes from the current conditions which are almost divided by negative narratives, hoaxes, and blasphemy, spreading hatred.
And the leader who is expected and believed to be able to bring the winds of change is none other than Mr. Anies Baswedan.
After one of the volunteer nodes informs and explains how Anies Baswedan really is, the people of NTT are enthusiastic and even ready to fight with Laskar AMAN to win Anies Baswedan in the 2024 presidential election.
“It’s not easy and full of challenges when we conduct outreach to the people of NTT. But thanks to the collaboration with various parties, including the NasDem Party in NTT, as the carrier party, everything has been passed, even successfully,” said the Vox Point activist.
Ervan really felt the benefits of collaboration during his political safari in NTT for Anies Baswedan. Collaboration makes it easier for Ervan and his Laskar AMAN friends to move and fight in the field, he admits.
“However, we cannot walk alone, but collaborate to facilitate the struggle on the field,” he said.
The results of the struggle of Ervan and his comrades from Laskar AMAN for one week produced extraordinary results. In every area he visited he always received a rousing welcome from the local community, some even welcomed his entourage with a traditional ceremony.
The impressive result of this one-week trip was that several regions wanted to invite Anies Baswedan to visit NTT.
“We will certainly coordinate and collaborate with the NasDem Party for the wishes of the people of NTT,” he said.
“To meet the expectations of the people of NTT, our plan is to invite Anies Baswedan to visit NTT on June 1. If it is not centered in Kupang City, we will focus Anies’ visit on Ende City, Pancasila City, the city where Bung Karno first contemplated Pancasila as the Indonesian nation’s ideology,” Ervan added.
The AMAN Troops traveling to NTT consisted of Mr. Ervanus Tou (general chairman), Mr. Indra Charismiadji (spokesperson), Mr. Emanuel Odi (general deputy chairman), and Mr. Cosmas Fernandez (public relations and mass-raising). Also participating was national figure and member of the Republic of Indonesia Parliament for the 2009-2014 period who is also the Founder of KBA News, Mr. Ramadhan Pohan.
They started their tour to East Flores Island, Larantuka District to be precise. Then to Lembata, Ende and Ruteng in Manggarai.(kba)
