The selection of this iconic hotel carries profound symbolism, signifying the commencement of Anies-Cak Imin’s journey toward victory in the 2024 Presidential Election.
Deputy Secretary-General of the PKB Central Executive Board, Syaiful Huda, shared the significance of this choice, saying, “The decision to opt for Hotel Majapahit, previously recognized as Hotel Yamato, is laden with historical importance. It was on this very ground that the spirited people of Surabaya exhibited extraordinary heroism by tearing down the Dutch flag, allowing the Indonesian flag to proudly unfurl across the archipelago.”
Huda emphasized that Anies-Cak Imin’s decision to run as presidential and vice-presidential candidate in the 2024 elections is a clear commitment to bringing about positive change for Indonesia. Both Anies and Cak Imin have presented well-defined programs aimed at enhancing and accelerating the nation’s journey towards fairness, prosperity, and well-being.

Yet, he highlighted the determination of Anies and Cak Imin, who are fully aware of the obstacles that lie ahead in the 2024 Presidential Election. Just like the brave people of Surabaya who were willing to make great sacrifices for the Indonesian flag, these leaders are steadfast in their resolve.
