The Third Paslon For The Jakarta Gubernatorial Election Is Called Try To Approach Rizieq Shihab

JAKARTA - The three pairs of candidates for Governor-Deputy Governor of Jakarta are said to have tried to approach the Grand Imam of the Islamic Brotherhood Front (FPI) Muhammad Rizieq Shihab. This was confirmed by Rizieq's lawyer, Aziz Yanuar.

However, Aziz said that until now there has been no agenda for a meeting between Rizieq and the Ridwan Kamil-Suswono, Dharma Pongkrekun-Kun Wardana, and Pramono Anung-Rano Karno.

" Approached, but haven't found it yet," Aziz said in a short message, Wednesday, November 6.

Aziz said that currently Rizieq has not accommodated the third winning team for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada candidate to stay in touch during the campaign period.

"There are three who ask to meet, from their team. But from the three of them, we have not accommodated them in the meantime," explained Aziz.

Meanwhile, previously the General Chairperson of FPI Habib Muhammad Alathas issued guidelines from FPI, GNPF Ulama, and the 212 Alumni Brotherhood in response to the 2024 Simultaneous Pilkada.

"If you are faced with an option that does not meet the ideal criteria, then you should consider pairs of candidates for regional heads whose disadvantages are lighter and the benefits are greater for Muslims and Muslims, according to the political ijtihad of istiqomah scholars in their respective regions," explained Habib Muhammad.

"If, people do not find criteria for candidate pairs and then people choose not to choose or choose to vote on all of them, then it is a political right that must be respected," he added.
