**Reasons PKS Nominated Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada** The Prosperous Justice Party (Partai Keadilan Sejahtera) officially nominated Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman as the cagub and deputy gubernatorial candidates for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu explained the reasons for nominating Anies and Sohibul Iman for the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election. Anies Baswedan is considered a leader who achieved significant progress while leading DKI Jakarta. According to Syaikhu, Anies’s performance has brought happiness to the residents of Jakarta. “Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan excelled as governor during the 2017-2022 period with various accomplishments in different sectors of development, advancing the city and bringing happiness to its residents,” stated Syaikhu at the Party Leadership School Opening at Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel, Central Jakarta, on June 25, 2024. Meanwhile, Sohibul Iman, according to Syaikhu, is a scholar. He mentioned that Sohibul also has an impressive track record in government. “Mr. Sohibul Iman is a technocrat and a scholar who has acted as the rector of Paramadina University. He has experience in the legislature as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) from 2013-2014 and has been PKS President from 2015-2020,” clarified Syaikhu. Syaikhu said that PKS is a cadre party with the mandate to conduct cadre and leadership regeneration. Therefore, he said, in the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada, the party will endorse its cadres as candidates for regional heads. “Especially in areas where PKS is the winning party or has a majority of seats in the DPRD. PKS will endeavor to the utmost to endorse its own cadres as candidates,” stated Syaikhu.

“This hearing focuses on the KPU’s decision declaring that the independent candidates did not meet the minimum support requirements,” said Arifudin. The adjudication process at Bawaslu Malang City lasts a maximum of 12 working days from the start of the closed deliberation, and it is now on the fourth day. If on schedule, the decision will be read on 3 July.

Chairman of KPU Malang City, Muhammad Toyib, announced that the election organizers respect the dispute filed by the petitioner and will follow all ongoing legal processes. “If in this hearing we are declared unprepared to provide a response, we will follow and prepare more thoroughly,” he stated. Toyib mentioned that the administrative verification process conducted by KPU was according to procedure. KPU believes that Silon is a precise application in terms of administrative results and an essential tool for the administrative verification process as it is connected to the Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Office (Dispendukcapil). “So when there are discrepancies in the support data, we can identify them through Silon,” stated Toyib. Regarding the assessment that Silon is problematic, Toyib mentioned that it is a system issue beyond the control of KPU Malang City. He added that KPU is awaiting the trial process and will comply with whatever the outcome and decision of the trial may be.

Syaikhu highlighted that PKS is a party of cadres with a mandate to foster and refresh political leadership. Therefore, he said, in the 2024 simultaneous regional elections, his party will nominate members to contend as regional head candidates. “Especially in core regions where PKS is the dominant party or holds the majority of DPRD seats. PKS will endeavor to promote its own cadres as candidates,” said Syaikhu.

Responding to this, Commission II DPR RI Chairman Ahmad Doli Kurnia said that a special session on Sirekap would be scheduled when discussing KPU regulations (PKPU) for the 2024 Regional Elections. He asked the KPU not to rush in declaring that Sirekap would be used again for the 2024 Regional Elections. “Regarding Sirekap, let’s discuss it later. That’s another PKPU. I’m not clear on Sirekap, so don’t say it will be used now,” said Doli in response.

**PKS Invites NasDem and PKB to Support Anies-Sohibul Iman Pair** Ahmad Syaikhu will ask other political parties (parpol) to support the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman duo in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. According to Syaikhu, his party still lacks the seats needed to register gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates in the Jakarta Pilkada. “Therefore, we have already communicated with our coalition from the previous presidential election,” stated Syaikhu. In the 2024 presidential election, PKS formed a coalition with the NasDem Party and the National Awakening Party (PKB) to endorse the number one pair Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN). According to Syaikhu, he has communicated with NasDem Party Chairman Surya Paloh. Syaikhu stated that Surya Paloh welcomed the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair positively.

Communication, Syaikhu continued, will soon be continued to other political parties, including with PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin). “He (Cak Imin) is on a flight, so God willing, we will communicate after this. We will communicate and visit PKB too, we hope we can unite in endorsing leadership in DKI Jakarta,” said Syaikhu.
