Ma'ruf Amin Invites PKB Cadres To Win Luluk-Lukman In The East Java Gubernatorial Election

SURABAYA - Chairman of the Syuro Council of the National Awakening Party DPP Kiai HajiMa'ruf Amin invites kiai, nyai, santri, and all PKB cadres in East Java to work hard to win the Luluk Nur Hamidan and Lukmanul Khakim pairs in the East Java gubernatorial election.

"I ask the PKB ranks, PKB members, who vote for PKB candidates, must choose a candidate for governor from PKB, namely Luluk and his deputy Lukman," said Kiai Ma'ruf on the sidelines of receiving the friendship of the East Java gubernatorial candidate Luluk Nur Hamidah at his residence as reported by ANTARA, Friday, November 8.

According to Ma'ruf, it is time for PKB to return to deploying the kiai political movement. The political vehicle that was founded from the start was PKB because PKB was a party that was built as a political vehicle for kiai.

"We must make PKB our vehicle in carrying out various political activities, not only for the legislature at level two, level one, and center, but also regional head elections, including where the PKB cadres exist, including in East Java," he said.

He emphasized that there should be no reason that the legislative affairs are different from the governor's affairs, once the PKB remains PKB, both legislative and executive, both DPRD and governor.

"This is a package from the political movement of PKB as well as the initial momentum to start building the political power of PKB in the future which we must make as a big party that brings ideas, a 'ala manhajikiai' way of thinking," said Kiai Ma'ruf.

Meanwhile, Luluk Nur Hamidan admitted that he was happy to be able to stay with Kiai Ma'ruf.

According to him, Kiai Ma'ruf's advice and direction as Chairman of the PKB DPP Syuro Council to win the Luluk-Lukman pair in the East Java Pilkada became very important.

"He said that winning the gubernatorial election in East Java is mandatory, even mandatory for all cadres, administrators and members of the faction in East Java. Pak Kiai also said that measuring victory was not only in the legislature, but also able to measure victory in the executive," said Luluk.

The 2024 East Java gubernatorial election was attended by three pairs of candidates for governor and deputy governor, namely Luluk Nur Hamidah-Lukmanul Khakim, Khofifah Indar Parawansa-Emil Elestianto Dardak and Tri Rismaharini-KH Zahrul Azhar Asumta (Gus Hans).
