JAKARTA - PKS responded casually to the statement by NasDem General Chair Surya Paloh who said that the corruption case involving former Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) Syahrul Yasin Limpo would affect the presidential candidate pair Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin) or Amin.

According to PKS spokesperson, Ahmad Mabruri, the electoral problem of Amin's partner will certainly always experience friction in accordance with the current political dynamics.

“Legal cases or cases of immorality from party officials will usually have a negative impact. What is important is that it is handled appropriately by the party. "God willing, it won't have too much of an impact," said Mabruri when contacted, Friday, October 6.

Mabruri said that PKS was not worried that the problems at NasDem would result in the steps set out to increase Anies' electability, which is far from the other two presidential candidates. He assessed that the survey results were still dynamic until the voting time approached.

"I think there is nothing difficult in politics. At every political moment, it can be processed according to targets," he said.

"If it's down now in the survey, it could be up next month," added Mabruri.

 

Nevertheless, Mabruri said, Amin's partner must be able to convince voters as a strategy to win the 2024 presidential election.

"The strategy is simple, the Amin couple convinces the public that the two of them and their supporting coalition parties are worthy to lead the country in 2024. Come down directly, say hello, and build trust," he explained.

Regarding the winning team, Mabruri confirmed that it would be announced on time. Currently, he said, his party is working on the name of Amin's winning national team captain while waiting for the movements of other coalitions.

"Later, the time will be announced. The coalition next to the vice presidential candidate doesn't exist yet, just relax," he said.
