Khofifah's Hope Is In Line With Emil, Democrats Immediately Step On The Gas For Communication To The KIM Political Parties

JAKARTA - The Democratic Party welcomes Khofifah Indar Parawansa's statement that she wants to run again in the 2024 East Java Pilkada with Emil Dardak.

Democrats said that Khofifah's hopes were in line with Emil Dardak, who had already stated that he wanted to be back in pairs in the East Java gubernatorial election. Democrats also confirmed that they had made recommendations to continue this.

"Since the campaign period for the last legislative and presidential elections, the Democratic Party has issued a letter of assignment for the incumbent pair," said Deputy of Bappilu DPP of the Democratic Party, Kamhar Lakumani to reporters, Wednesday, May 15.

"So Mrs. Khofifah's hope is in line with Mas Emil and the Democratic Party," he continued.

Welcoming Khofifah's hopes, Kamhar said, the Democratic Party would immediately build communication with political parties in the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM).

"Regarding the gubernatorial election, especially in areas that have become national political storefronts, it has indeed become a common concern for the Forward Indonesia Coalition to build a coalition that is linear between the center and the regions. We hope that this couple will continue its leadership in East Java," said Kamhar. Previously, the former Governor of East Java, Khofifah Indar Parawansa, hoped to reunite with Emil Dardak in the East Java governor election in the 2024 Pilkada. Khofifah intensified communication with various political parties to achieve this goal.

"I feel comfortable and productive with Mas Emil," said Khofifah in Jakarta, Tuesday, May 14.

Khofifah said that she had received recommendations from four parties to run in the East Java gubernatorial election. The four parties, namely the Gerindra Party, the Golkar Party, the Democratic Party, and the National Mandate Party (PAN).

"I hope that these four supporting parties are united, and I hope to be given the opportunity to stay with Mas Emil," said Khofifah.
