JAKARTA - Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini and Zahrul Azhar Asumta (Gus Hans) registered as candidates for the East Java cagub-cawagub to the East Java KPU tonight.

Risma-Gus Hans was accompanied by a party supporting the PDI-P at the East Java KPU office, Surabaya, Thursday, August 29.

Tri Rismaharini confirmed that he would resign from the position of Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos) to contest the 2024 East Java Regional Head Election (Pilkada).

"Come on, I'll back off," he said.

Regarding his resignation plan, Risma will meet President Joko Widodo on Friday (30/8) and directly ask to resign because she wants to focus on nominating the East Java Pilkada.

"Tomorrow, God willing, if possible, ask the President for time to resign. But the rules are not regulated. But I will resign, and that is his authority," said Risma, who is also the former Mayor of Surabaya for two periods.
