TUBAN - Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB) Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin) attended Haul Akbar Muasis and Masyayih Islamic Boarding School (Ponpes) Langitan, Tuban, East Java. Cak Imin's presence at the same time asked for his blessing to become a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election. "My step forward as a presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election is solely for the struggle to continue the mandate and ideals of the kiai, guardians, and founders of this nation to realize Indonesia, which is a Toyyibatun warobbun ghofur," said Gus Muhaimin in a statement received in Jakarta, Antara, Friday, September 9. Cak Imin said that the 2024 presidential and legislative elections were a big step so that they needed the support and blessing of the kiai, ulama, and masyayih. "It is necessary to sleep (looking for) the blessings of the kiai and the scholars," said Cak Imin. In addition to praying for the muasis and masyayih of Ponpes Langitan, Cak Imin on that occasion also visited scholars and habaib, as well as tens of thousands of people from various regions who were both present at the haul event to pray for the people of Ponpes Langitan. Cak Imin said that the prayers and blessings of the kiai apart from making it easier for their steps to run in the 2024 presidential election, were also positive energy so that their steps could get blessings. Gus Dur's brain says that PKB has a long history with the Langitan Islamic Boarding School. Since its founding, the Sky kiai have always been a reference for PKB to step up in the struggle in politics. In fact, said Cak Imin, ahead of the 1999 presidential election, senior NU kiai gathered at Ponpes Langitan to support and pray for Gus Dur to run in the 1999 presidential election. The meeting of the elderly kiai at that time was known as Poros Langitan. Gus Dur finally walked as the 4th president of the Republic of Indonesia. Meanwhile, KH Ubaidillah Faqih prayed for Gus Muhaimin's move to run in the 2024 presidential election in order to get convenience and blessings. ”God willing, blessings,” he said.
