The candidate pair number 2, Khofifah Indar Parawansa-Emil Elestianto Dardak, has been chosen by Prabowo Subianto as the duet for the 2024 East Java gubernatorial election. This prompted KH. Miftah Maulana Habiburrahman, commonly known as Gus Miftah, to give his full support.
This was directly expressed by Gus Miftah at the Multaqo Ulama event in East Java, Surabaya. The presence of hundreds of scholars and young clerics at Gus Miftah’s invitation was a tangible form of support for the incumbent couple.
“My promise is that if Mr. Prabowo wins decisively in East Java and becomes President, then I will help win Mrs. Khofifah in East Java,” said Gus Miftah in Surabaya, Wednesday (20/11/2024).
According to him, winning Khofifah-Emil has certainly become a necessity. Of course, the main goal is to bring progress to East Java in the next five years.
He revealed that the communication with the Chairperson of the PP Muslimat Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) was established very well. Thus, they can understand each other’s daily community needs.
Moreover, he added, long before the implementation of the regional elections, he had already established active communication with Khofifah. Especially regarding the victory of the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka pair in the 2024 presidential election.
“And my communication with Mrs. Khofifah has also been established for quite a long time, even before the regional elections began,” he continued.
Moreover, Gus Miftah also convinced the masyayikh and young clerics in East Java to vote for Khofifah Indar Parawansa as the Governor of East Java for the 2025-2030 term. This is a manifestation of fulfilling his promise to President Prabowo Subianto.
“So I have promised Mr. Prabowo that I will go all out to win Mrs. Khofifah in East Java,” he said.
