At that time, Achmad Husein who was present at the event with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) asked the KPK to give a warning before making the arrest of OTT.

"We regional heads, we are all afraid and don't want to be OTT. So we ask the KPK before OTT, please if an error is found, before OTT we will be summoned first. If it turns out that he has changed, then it will be released. But if it doesn't change, then he will be arrested, sir," Husein said in a video clip, quoted from Era.id.

Meanwhile, this time, Achmad Husein went viral again because he asked who the presidential candidate would be chosen by the three Unsoed new students (Maba).

"Who do you think the president you will make a leader in? Just answer, to be honest, don't hesitate. I want true honesty, true honesty. Of the three, who will lead Indonesia," asked Husein in a 2 minutes 6 seconds video.

When asked, three schools simultaneously answered that they would vote for Anies Baswedan in the 2024 presidential election later. This answer is considered a defeat for Achmad Husein considering that he is a PDIP cadre. Even the Banyumas Regent also called for him to choose Ganjar Pranowo.
