Gus Ipul: NU citizens should not choose a presidential candidate supported by Abu Bakar Ba'asyir, especially if Amien Rais is involved.

"Dream - Secretary General of PBNU, Saifullah Yusuf or commonly known as Gus Ipul, urges the public not to choose a presidential candidate supported by Abu Bakar Ba'asyir and Amien Rais. 'Let's not support a pair that is supported by individuals who have opposing ways of thinking to NU people. Like a candidate supported by Abu Bakar Ba'asyir, especially if there is also Amien Rais,' said Gus Ipul in his statement, quoted from jatimnow, Wednesday, January 17, 2024."

Citizens of NU, said Gus Ipul, are expected to know exactly which candidate is in line with the interests of Indonesia and the interests of NU. Groups that have been opposing NU should be avoided. "We must be wary of other groups that oppose NU, especially those who are only lured by the position of Vice President. Don't choose this group," he said.

Gus Ipul encourages NU citizens to exercise their voting rights on February 14. He asks NU citizens to be wise in determining their choices.

"We want NU citizens to vote on the 14th. We hope that all NU citizens will attend and use their voting rights sincerely, paying attention to all the candidates," said Gus Ipul. The chosen presidential candidate, he said, must truly reflect the way of thinking and the madzhab of Ahlussunah Waljamaah."

"Make sure that the candidate we choose is in accordance with the way of thinking and madzhab of NU. Select and filter all the available information so that we do not get lost due to hoax news."
He said.

Gus Ipul did not mention the name of the candidate pair he was referring to. However, his statement is suspected to be referring to candidate pair number 1 Anies-Cak Imin (AMIN).

"Previously, a video of Ustaz Abu Bakar Ba'asyir supporting the Anies Baswedan-Cak Imin pair circulated on the TikTok account @aniesvisioner. In the circulating recording, Abu Bakar Ba'asyir explained that the presidential election is not just about ideology, but rather a tool aimed at defending Islam."

"Pilpres itu bukan ideologi tapi adalah alat, maka kalau memang tujuan kita ikut pilpres untuk membela Islam itu boleh. Jadi, kita perlu mengikut pilpres ini untuk membela Islam, caranya memilih presiden yang paham Islam,"" "The presidential election is not an ideology but a tool, so if our goal is to participate in the presidential election to defend Islam, it is permissible. Therefore, we need to participate in this presidential election to defend Islam, by choosing a president who understands Islam."

Therefore, he considers choosing a presidential candidate who understands Islam as one way to defend Islam. He claims that compared to other candidates, the AMIN pair who understand Islam is only one, namely Anies Baswedan, that is the one we must choose. Because if he is elected and destined to become president, InshaAllah, it will be beneficial for Islam, and he will strive to govern this country with Islamic laws as much as possible," he said.

"That's it, I believe we should participate in this presidential election, but our goal is for Islam, not to follow the country's laws."
