KEDIRI – Pertarungan di Pemilihan Bupati (Pilbup) Kediri 2020 ini tampaknya akan sangat seru dan persaingan ketat. Dua pasangan kandidat yang paling populer yang sekarang sudah muncul, Mujahid – Edo dan Supadi – Samsul Huda, diprediksi akan bersaing ketat. Mujahid-Eko yang dibackup mantan Bupati Sutrisno, sudah roadshow keliling Kediri. Sementara Supadi dikabarkan akan melakukan borong partai setelah didukung PKB, Gerindra, dan PAN.
Bukan itu saja. Muncul isu santer di kalangan Supadi, yang juga Kepala Desa Tarokan ini, bahwa Supadi dibackup Gudang Garam, setelah Slamet Budiono, Wakil Direktur PT Gudang Garam Tbk, yang sebelumnya dikabarkan akan mencalonkan diri, tiba-tiba namanya tenggelam di bursa kandidat. “Dia (Supadi,red) kan timnya pembebasan lahan bandara. Tenang saja, Supadi yakin dapat rekom,”ujar salah satu kader Supadi, saat bertemu pada uji publik Partai Gerindra di Balaidesa Karangrejo, Kec. Ngasem (25/1) lalu.
Menurut kader Supadi itu, Supadi adalah salah satu tim pembebasan lahan bandara. Sementara, saat ini masih ada lahan yang belum berhasil dibebaskan. “Jadi Gudang Garam punya kepentingan,”tandasnya.
Munculnya isu backup PT Gudang Garam Tbk itu, juga dibenarkan oleh salah satu ketua partai di Kabupaten Kediri. “Begitu isunya. Mungkin berkaitan dengan pembebasan tanah di barat sungai,”katanya.
Menurut ketua partai itu, pihaknya sampai saat ini masih belum menentukan sikap siapa yang akan diusung. Masih melakukan komunikasi dengan beberapa kandidat dan sejumlah ketua partai. “Termasuk dengan kandidat yang diusung dulur-dulur PKB, Gerindra, dan PAN (Supadi,red),”ujarnya, melalui saluran whatsap.
Sementara itu, Kabag Humas PT Gudang Garam Tbk, Iwhan Tri Cahyono, saat dihubungi melalui saluran Whatsapp, Senin (27/1) malam, tidak membantah dan tidak membenarkan isu itu. Dia hanya mengatakan. “Dia kan Kades (Kepala Desa) Mas,”ujarnya.
Saat ditanya apakah betul soal isu PT Gudang Garam Tbk membackup Supadi pada Pilbup 2020 ini, Iwhan tidak menjawab. (mam)
Supadi backed up by GG
KEDIRI – The fight in the Kediri 2020 Regent Election (Pilbup) seems to be very exciting and intense competition. The two most popular candidate pairs that have now appeared, Mujahid – Edo and Supadi – Samsul Huda, are predicted to be competing. Mujahid-Eko, which was backed up by the former Regent of Sutrisno, had a roadshow around Kediri. While Supadi is rumored to be carrying out a party buy-up after being supported by PKB, Gerindra, and PAN.
Not only that. The issue arose widely among Supadi, who is also the Head of Tarokan Village, that Supadi was backed up by Gudang Garam, after Slamet Budiono, Deputy Director of PT Gudang Garam Tbk, who was previously rumored to be running, suddenly his name sank in the candidate exchanges. “He (Supadi, red) is his team for the acquisition of airport land. Take it easy, Supadi believes he can record, “said one of the Supadi cadres, when meeting at a Gerindra Party public test in Balaidesa Karangrejo, Kec. Ngasem (25/1) then.
According to the Supadi cadre, Supadi was one of the airport land acquisition teams. Meanwhile, currently there are still lands that have not been successfully acquired. “So Gudang Garam has an interest,” he said.
The emergence of the issue of backup PT Gudang Garam Tbk, also justified by one of the party leaders in the District of Kediri. “That’s the issue. It might be related to land acquisition in the west of the river, “he said.
According to the party chairman, his party has yet to determine whose attitude will be carried. Still communicating with several candidates and a number of party leaders. “This includes candidates who are carried out by PKB, Gerindra, and PAN leaders (Supadi, red),” he said, through the WhatsApp channel.
Meanwhile, Head of Public Relations of PT Gudang Garam Tbk, Iwhan Tri Cahyono, when contacted via Whatsapp on Monday (1/27) evening, did not dispute and did not justify the issue. He just said. “He is the Village Head (Village Head) Mas,” he said.
When asked whether it was true about the issue of PT Gudang Garam Tbk backing Supadi in the 2020 Pilbup, Iwhan did not answer. (mam)
