JAKARTA - Khofifah Indar Parawansa denied that the National Mandate Party (PAN) had not given Emil Dardak blessing as his partner in the 2024 East Java gubernatorial election.

Khofifah emphasized that PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas) had no problem with anyone as a deputy governor candidate who ran with him in the East Java gubernatorial election.

"Oh no, Mr. Zulhas is clear. It's up to Mrs. Khofifah to represent," said Khofifah at Widya Chandra, Jakarta, Friday, May 17.

Although he has not officially stated his support, said Khofifah, PAN is committed to supporting him and Emil Dardak to run again in the East Java Pilkada contestation.

"Clear, clear, God willing, there will be no problem," he continued.

After Golkar, Khofifah said there would be a meeting with PAN. This is because PAN is part of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM).

However, after tonight, he admitted that he would first visit the East Java PPP tomorrow.

"Yes, in the formal form, it should be packaged," concluded Khofifah

It is known that PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hasan has emphasized his party's support for Khofifah. He stated that PAN was not half-hearted in supporting and entrusting Khofifah.

"If I support it, it's up to him to be the best in East Java for mothers. It's up to Mrs. Khofifah," said Zulhas in Jakarta, Friday, May 10.
