Syaikhu stated that PKS needs to build communication with other political parties (parpol) including NasDem to meet the requirements for nominating a governor and deputy governor in the Jakarta Pilkada. “PKS realizes it cannot nominate a candidate alone in the Pilkada because the number of seats we have does not yet meet the requirement to nominate independently, we only have 18 seats, while the requirement is 22. So we still need 4 more seats,” he said. After NasDem, PKS will soon build communication with the Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Muhaimin Iskandar, or Cak Imin to build a coalition in the Jakarta Pilkada. “InsyAllah in the coming time I will also try to communicate with PKB, with Cak Imin,” he said.

PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu mentioned that the Chairman of the Nasdem Party, Surya Paloh, gave a positive signal towards this pair. “I continue to build political communication with the NasDem Party, specifically I made a point to visit Mr. Surya Paloh, and alhamdulillah, I was warmly received and got a positive signal to build cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada,” said Syaikhu at the Sahid Hotel, Jakarta, on June 25.

“No problem, in the competition (Pilkada), there is no need to be afraid, right? We’ll just compete,” said Sohibul Iman when met during the opening of the PKS Leadership School at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, Tuesday (25/6/2024).

Sohibul has been officially paired by PKS with the former Governor of DKI Jakarta for the 2017-2022 period, Anies Baswedan. Anies has been nominated as the prospective gubernatorial candidate for Jakarta 2024.

Baswedan only smirked when he was informed of the accusations of Jokowi’s meddling. He did not want to give further comments on the matter. “All processes are still ongoing, just go with the flow,” Anies said when interviewed after attending a gathering with the DKI Jakarta Pancasila Youth MPW in Pejaten, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (19/6/2024). Furthermore, Anies Baswedan said that he currently prioritizes issues related to the prosperity of Jakarta residents over other matters. “For us, the main issue is the welfare of Jakarta residents. It’s not about who will be the partner, that’s not the point, and the process is still long, just let it flow,” Baswedan said. Earlier, the Chairman of the Central Board of PDI Perjuangan, Djarot Saiful Hidayat, believed that there were evidences that President Jokowi would intervene again in the 2024 Regional Election.

Reacting to Jokowi’s Intention to Continue Social Assistance Distribution Prior to Pilkada This was in response to President Widodo’s intention to extend handing out social assistance (bansos) in the form of rice until December. “We not only smell intervention but witness it plainly and openly, in Javanese it’s plainly obvious,” said Djarot Saiful Hidayat at the PDI-P Central Executive Office, Diponegoro Road, Jakarta, on Thursday. “Meaning, the involvement is very clear, very visible. It’s very apparent,” he went on. Djarot stressed that the continued distribution of welfare aid until December amounts to an misuse of authority. Perjuangan Party Asks Election Commission and Supervisory Body to Intervene Therefore, PDI Perjuangan called on the Election Commission (KPU) and the Election Oversight Body (Bawaslu) to address these evidences. Djarot hopes that the misuse of power by President Widodo, which occurred during the 2024 Pilpres, will not be repeated in the 2024 Pilkada. “We really request the electoral authorities, to thoroughly monitor. Including the media and the youth. Especially since the social assistance will be prolonged until December,” he stressed.

**Reason PKS Nominates Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada** The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) officially nominated Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman as the governor (cagub) and deputy governor (cawagub) candidates in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu clarified the reason for nominating Anies and Sohibul Iman for the Jakarta gubernatorial election in 2024. Anies Baswedan is considered a figure of a leader who has performed well while leading Jakarta. According to Syaikhu, Anies’ performance has made the people of Jakarta happy. “Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan successfully became the governor for the 2017-2022 period with various achievements in various sectors of development, successfully advancing the city and making its residents happy,” said Syaikhu at the Party Leadership School opening ceremony at the Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel, Central Jakarta, on June 25, 2024.

**Proposing Anies** Previously, the Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW) of PKS nominated Anies Baswedan to run as a gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The PKS DPP is requesting the deputy gubernatorial seat. PKS Syuro Council Deputy Chair Hidayat Nur Wahid (HNW) stated that Anies’s name is indeed being discussed externally. Thus, PKS requests that its cadre be Anies’s deputy if the PKS DPP supports Anies. “For example, if Mr. Anies is the gubernatorial candidate from PKS, and he is also proposed by other parties, making him a cross-party candidate, then it is only fair that PKS proposes the deputy governor from PKS,” said HNW during an interview at the PKS DPP office, Jakarta, on Tuesday. He explained the strong reason for the party’s request for the deputy gubernatorial seat. “In the previous period, PKS supported Mr. Anies as the gubernatorial candidate, but the deputy was not from PKS. It is only fair now that PKS gets the deputy position. Once again, PKS is very capable of providing a competent deputy governor,” he stated.
