SITUBONDO - The vice presidential candidate from the Change Coalition Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin) said that the presidential/vice presidential candidate pair Anies Baswedan and Muhaimin (AMIN) were optimistic that they would be able to get 60 percent of the votes in East Java Province in the 2024 election.

"We are optimistic that it will increase by 60 percent," said Cak Imin to reporters after the Salafiyah Syafi'iyah Sukorejo Islamic Boarding School gathering, Sumberejo Village, Banyuputih District, Situbondo reported by ANTARA, Friday, November 10.

Cak Imin believes that 60 percent of the votes in East Java Province are because almost all pesantren provide their support to AMIN couples.
