That's why, during the gubernatorial election 2013 coming, NU people are required to have one vote. Thus, unanimous victory will be achieved. "We are trying and continue to do that (NU people have one voice).

During the meeting held at the Situbondo PPP DPC Office,, he admits that currently there are a number of strong candidates emerging among the nahdliyin. Nevertheless, KH Zainullah Johar is more likely to support Khofi fah Indar Prawansyah than other candidates. "I believe that Mrs. Khofifah is more reliable to compete with other candidates". Apart from life experience and skills, at the gubernatorial election 2009 I think people can already read who Mrs. Khofi fah really is," he explained.

According to the kiai who is still actively preaching, at the time of the gubernatorial election 2009, Khofi fah actually won the fight. It is just, somehow then lose. "So, it must then be returned to Mrs. Khofi fah. I'm sure I can win now," he said. Added, various problems that befell the people of East Java must be resolved.
