Having led Banyuwangi regency, his homeland on the eastern tip of Java Island, for four years, Abdullah Azwar Anas has made many changes and breakthroughs. This was reported by the Kompas daily on 7 June 2014, in an article titled “New Power from East Java”.
Two periods of leadership, 2010-2015 and 2016-2021, were enough for Azwar Anas to showcase his capabilities. The article mentions, “the various ideas and breakthroughs he made in Banyuwangi that were previously unnoticeable helped the region grow in strength.”
