General Chairman of the Central Board of Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU)
KH Hasyim Muzadi said East Java should ideally be led by a governor whose NU background because most people living in the province are Nahdliyin (NU followers).
Hasyim made the statement before some 72 participants of the Regional Work Meeting of the East Java's Ma'arif NU at the headquarters of East Java's NU Regional board, Jln. Masjid Al Akbar, Surabaya on Tuesday (12/8).<>
"It is very appropriate if East Java inhabited predominantly by Nahdliyin will be led by a governor from NU," Hasyim said.
Present at the occasion were top officials of the East Java's Ma'rif NU such as Abdul Haris and Istibsjaroh.
Abdul Haris said that it was reasonable enough if the Indonesia's biggest Muslim organization supports the province governor candidate from NU.
As reported, the Regional Election Commission (KPUD) of East Java has decided to hold a second round of the East Java's gubernatorial election on coming 5 November 2008 after Idul Fitri holiday.
Based on the recapitulation of the manual counting result of the East Java General Elections Commission (KPUD), Karsa is in the first place with 4.498.332 eligible voters or 26,43 percent and followed by Ka-ji with 4.223.089 voters or 24,82 percent. (sbh/rif)
