SURABAYA - Candidate for vice president number 1 Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin stated that he had known for a long time the political support of the Governor of East Java Khofifah Indar Parawansa which led to the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka pair.

"We have known for a long time about Mrs. Khofifah's choice," said Cak Imin in Surabaya, East Java, Wednesday, January 10.

Cak Imin is not worried that Khofifah's decision to threaten the electability of the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar or "AMIN" pair and the National Awakening Party (PKB) in East Java.

Because, he said, differences in political views had occurred long ago, even before the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) contestation stage, so it had no impact on winning steps in the 2024 General Election.

"Even in 2019, Khofifah also had different choices with PKB, meaning that we are still optimistic about the most votes in East Java, so it has nothing to do with Khofifah," he said.

Previously, the Governor of East Java Khofifah Indar Parawansa fulfilled his promise of support for the presidential-vice presidential candidate pair, Prabowo Subinato-Gibran Rakabuming Raka, namely joining the National Campaign Team (TKN).

"I have gone home from Umrah, according to my promise that I am ready to enter TKN," said Khofifah at the Juanda International Airport DiVIP Room, Sidoarjo, East Java, Wednesday.

Khofifah expressed her willingness to join the winning team for presidential-vice presidential candidate number two has been submitted to the Secretary of the TKN Nusron Wahid.

He asked Nusron to include his name on the Prabowo-Gibran TKN list and invited the data revision to be submitted to the General Elections Commission (KPU).
