“For the greater good and for the people of Jakarta, we continue to synchronize with all political parties. Once an agreement is reached, we will inform our colleagues about who the gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates will be from Gerindra and our friends in the Advanced Indonesia Coalition,” he said.

Kaka Suminta emphasized that to prevent any allegations of lobbying by prospective regent and deputy regent pairs regarding administrative verification, the central KPU must step in. “There needs to be supervision from the central KPU,” stated Kaka. He added that to avert any clandestine attempts at committing fraud during administrative verification, the central KPU should enforce strict oversight. “If pairs do not pass administrative verification, they should not be given any leeway that could damage democracy,” he said.

**PKS: 2 Coalitions in Jakarta Pilkada More Attractive, Higher Winning Chances** PKS Spokesperson Pipin Sopian mentioned that the party prefers two coalitions for the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election. This is because the chances of winning are greater as the election will not go to two rounds. “Yes, actually, 2 coalitions or 3 coalitions are interesting. For us, 2 coalitions are more attractive, the chances of our candidate winning are greater. If there are 3 coalitions, it might go to 2 rounds, we also calculate that,” said Pipin at the Sahid Hotel, Jakarta, on Monday. Pipin mentioned that the opportunity to form a new coalition for the Jakarta gubernatorial election is still open. However, this needs to be discussed with other political parties. “All opportunities exist, well, I think we are only 1 party out of several parties, so we certainly have to talk together,” he said.

“So if PKS friends inform about the offer to become Mr. Ridwan Kamil’s deputy governor, it might be from individual senior political party members of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition. It has not yet become an official offer,” said Habiburokhman, quoted from Antara, Wednesday (June 19, 2024) .

Head of Bappilu DPW NasDem Jatim S. Suhandoyo explained the justification for giving the recommendation to the “Santri” duo, citing the strong commitment of both youthful candidates to further improve the well-being of the citizens of Gresik. “We have assessed various aspects, including dialogues. Additionally, the poll data for this pair are very promising,” he said. The presentation of the endorsement was attended by representatives from both political parties, including Gresik political figure and elected DPR RI member T. Majiddanor, also known as Jiddan.

Meanwhile, Sohibul Iman, according to Syaikhu, is a scholar.

Syaikhu mentioned that PKS is a cadre party that has a mandate to carry out political cadre regeneration and leadership regeneration. Therefore, he said, in this simultaneous Pilkada 2024, the party will nominate its cadre to run as a regional head candidate. “Especially in the base areas where PKS is the winning party or has a majority of DPRD seats. PKS will strive to nominate its own cadre as a candidate,” stated Syaikhu.

One more noticeable news piece concerns the awful fatality of a lady, recognized only as PG, that is believed to have committed suicide by leaping from the 9th flooring of Laguna Pluit Apartment Or Condo in Jakarta. The case, which took place on Monday afternoon, 25 March 2024, is currently under investigation by regional police.

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 concluded.

According to Habiburokhman, the coalition supporting Prabowo-Gibran in the 2024 Presidential Election has not yet made an official decision regarding the gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidate pair for the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election .
