According to Jazilul, Luluk Nur Hamidah, who is also a PKB cadre, was able to fight Khofifah Indar Parawansa and Tri Rismaharini.

"Why did we choose Luluk first because we saw that all of the figures who appeared in East Java were women. Mba Luluk is a younger woman, more beautiful," he said.

"(So) there is no problem (against Khofifah and Risma), because Mrs. Khofifah is not clear about her achievements in East Java. In my opinion, Mba Luluk has succeeded in the parliament raising the issues and aspirations that are expected by the community. Including fighting hard to fight for the current draft Hajj committee," he concluded.
