A collection of Anies Baswedan's campaign pledges that appear to be mere verbal, lip services without substantial follow-through.
- 0% Down Payment affordable Houses: 2,332 units from the target of 232,214 (Result: 1%).
- Safe houses for women and children victims of violence, four units from the target of 267 (Result: 1.5%).
- The Construction of "Science Park": Result: 0%
- Development of the Jakarta LRT by regional Jakarta Governmental enterprises, BUMD PT Jakpro: Result: 0%
- Construction of LRT in other part of Indonesia in Collaboration between Regional Government and Business Entities (PDBU): Result: 0%
- River normalization: Result: 0%.
