Thousands Of Santri In Indramayu Support Ganjar To Become President In 2024, Until He Holds A Joint Prayer

JAKARTA - Thousands of students from the Al-Quraniyah Islamic Boarding School (Ponpes), Dukuhjati Village, Indramayu District, West Java, held a prayer together and celebratory prayer, to support Ganjar Pranowo as President in 2024.

"Pak Ganjar Pranowo is quite well-known among the kyai, because he often visits Islamic boarding schools, so his figure is very accepted by the students and caregivers of Islamic boarding schools," said Al-Quraniyah Islamic Boarding School Caretaker KH Akhim Maghozie, quoting Antara, Sunday, June 5th.

The recognition of Ganjar among kyai, said Akhim, was shown by frequently visiting Islamic boarding schools in various regions to stay in touch and provide assistance.

For this reason, continued Akim, prayers and salawat were carried out by the 1,500 students he led, as a form of appreciation and support for the Governor of Central Java.

According to him, the Indonesian nation currently needs a leader who is able to embrace all circles of society, including kyai and ulama.

Akhim assessed that Ganjar is the right person to become President in 2024 because he is able to make ulama and kyai as role models.

"Hopefully, with the prayers of these scholars and students, what is the aspiration of Mr. Ganjar Pranowo can be fulfilled for the next 2024 President. Hopefully, Allah SWT will make it easy and can be accepted by all people," he said.

Meanwhile, the National Coordinator of Ganjar Supporting Santri Acep Amirudin said the Ganjar Supporting Santri activity was aimed at introducing Ganjar Pranowo among Islamic boarding schools, especially to students.

In addition to introducing the figure of Ganjar, Acep added, Santri Supporting Ganjar also voiced Ganjar's achievements while serving as Governor of Central Java. Acep said that many of Ganjar's successes have the potential to be continued if he is elected president.

"This event introduces the figure of Pak Ganjar, especially from his profile, his life, basically from his history until now, we will introduce it to the students in Islamic boarding schools," he said.
