In addition, the Regent, the Chairman of the DPRD and the Forkopimda ranks were also present to enliven the solawat event.

According to observations, since 19.00 p.m., the square has started to be crowded with worshipers. Several parking bags were prepared by officers so that the traffic flow would not be hampered. In his lecture, Gus Ali Gondrong wanted Sahabat Nasional to be held by Sahabat Ganjar, the Indonesian people to remain peaceful and conducive in facing the 2024 presidential election.

As Muslims, he said, we must instill the nature and attitude of ukhuwah Islamiyah, Wataniyah, and ukhuwah basyariah. "We are brothers, brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters in the water, and also brothers in humanity," he said.

For this reason, he asked not to make a fuss, make a fuss, just because of different choices. People who come are also ready to make a peaceful 2024 election. Entering political years like today, he said, efforts need to be encouraged at the community level.

The existence of differences of views and political choices causes potential conflicts and divisions. Therefore, national-themed solawat is very necessary. So in addition to the solawat of national anthems such as Indonesia Raya, the country, and others are also echoed.

He said, whoever the candidate is, they are the best sons of this nation. "Ready to support peaceful elections?... Those who want to choose Anis, please, those who want to vote for Prabowo, please, those who want to be with me choose Ganjar Pranowo and Mahfud MD, let's win Ganjar Pranowo President 2024 together," he said in front of thousands of worshipers.

Not only that, Gus Ali also invited the public to get involved for the good of the nation and state. Namely by choosing a leader who has integrity and has been tested.

In this political contestation, Gus Ali said he had established himself to support the Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD pair, which he considered to have the high credibility and integrity needed by the Indonesian people in the next five years.

Not only that, according to him, the two pairs are considered capable of resolving national issues, such as corruption to radicalism. He considered Ganjar-Mahfud to be a suitable couple because they have a qualified background and have high integrity with an NU background.
