According to Gus Ali, Indonesia is entering a crucial period to choose and determine future leaders. He said the people should not be wrong in choosing a leader who will determine the fate of the nation and regarding the welfare of the people.

"If Indonesia wants to excel and its people are prosperous, then a leader who has a complete package is needed. I believe the complete package is in the Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD pair," said Gus Ali Gondrong.

Therefore, Gus Ali invited the public to win the presidential-candidate presidential-vice presidential candidate pair (Cawapres) 2024 Ganjar-Mahfud. This candidate pair received number three when taking serial numbers at the Indonesian KPU yesterday.

Greetings for three fingers. We will pick up the future of leading Indonesia to excel with the Ganjar-Mahfud pair," he said to the roar of applause from thousands of worshipers.
