Surabaya, NU Online
The East Java's gubernatorial election would be fierce battle field for candidates and nothing to do with the two Indonesia's biggest muslim organizations, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah.
"This gubernatorial election would chose figures directly and not deal with supporting parties, organizations and so on. It is nothing to do with both NU and Muhammadiyah," Saifullah Yusuf, Soekarwo's running mate, and is nominated by the National Mandate Party (PAN) and Democratic Party said here Monday (4/8).<>
The tight East Java gubernatorial race looks set to go to the second round after none of the five pairs of candidates managed to secure more than 30 percent of the vote, the threshold required by the 2008 regional administration law.
The quick count results indicate the pair of Soekarwo and Saifullah Yusuf will face their strongest opponents Khofifah Indar Parawansa and Mudjiono in the second round of the election.
Political parties in East Java have recruited members from a dominant local Muslim organization in an apparent strategy to win the province's first-ever gubernatorial election in July. (dar)
