PDIP politician Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, also known as Ahok spoke out regarding his name being mentioned for the North Sumatra gubernatorial election in the 2024 Pilkada.

Huda reminded that the Jakarta Pilkada is very fluid and nothing is fixed, including for PKS, even though it won the Jakarta legislative election but cannot nominate alone. “Nominating two figures simultaneously as both governor and deputy governor candidates is a political party’s privilege with a golden ticket, having 20 percent. We know our friends at PKS won the last legislative election but haven’t surpassed 20 percent as they only have 18 seats while 20 percent requires 22 seats,” he stated. “So, in my opinion, this model of monopolizing figures for a party that does not meet and does not have a golden ticket is dangerous, it’s dangerous,” he concluded.

“Mr. Ahok and Mr. Djarot are being urged to run in North Sumatra. This is interesting because North Sumatra needs significant changes,” said Eriko at the PDIP DPP Office, Central Jakarta, as quoted on Friday (17/5/2024).

Moreover, for the Jakarta Pilkada, they have not yet reported to the Chairman of PKB, Muhaimin Iskandar, also known as Cak Imin. “It is still at the Pilkada desk level, we have not reported to Cak Imin. For several Pilkada, including Jakarta, we have not yet reported to Cak Imin,” he said. Furthermore, Huda stated that the dynamics in the Jakarta Pilkada are still very fluid, even though PKS has already nominated Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman. “We must place everything, especially the Jakarta Pilkada, in a very fluid space. I can still say it hasn’t taken shape, not even with us. In KIM, the figures are still being pulled. This means the Jakarta Pilkada is still very fluid from all sides, from all camps. Including from the KIM camp,” he added.

As a party that won ten seats in the 2019 vote and 11 seats in the 2024 election, PKS has a strong foundation and can put forward a single ticket for mayor and deputy mayor. Additionally, the PKS Bogor DPD Chairman, Atang Trisnanto, has been proposed as a candidate for mayor in the 2024 Pilkada. “Of course, PKS has the means and powerful stance to determine the mayoral candidate. Just wait, we are awaiting direction from the DPP. (Regarding my name being mentioned), yes, it has been noted, thank you for the support. We are certainly waiting for direction from the DPP. Whatever the entrusted task, we are ready, I must be ready,” said Atang on Sunday (24/3/2024).

Previously, PDIP opened the possibility for former Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, also known as Ahok, and Djarot Syaiful Hidayat to be nominated in the North Sumatra Pilkada. PDIP Central Executive Board Chairman Eriko Sotarduga mentioned that these two names have been requested to run in both North Sumatra and Jakarta.

“We thank the friends from the North Sumatra DPD for the request. But the decision is not up to us,” said Ahok during the 5th PDIP National Working Meeting (Rakernas) at Beach City International Stadium, Ancol, North Jakarta, Saturday (25/5/2024).

According to Huda, another PKS confusion is pairing Anies-Sohibul directly, which he considers a blunder. “The ensuing problem is immediately pairing Mr. Anies and Mr. Sohibul Iman. In my view, that’s a blunder,” he said. Huda said that by pairing Anies with Sohibul, it closes the door for other parties to join in supporting Anies. “This will close the door for other parties to partner and form this coalition,” he said.

Regarding the North Sumatra gubernatorial election, Ahok has already communicated with PDIP politician Landen Marbun and North Sumatra PDIP Chairman Rapidin Simbolon. Ahok is still waiting for the PDIP Rakernas to conclude.

Regarding the 2024 Regional Elections, Anies stated that he is building communication with various political parties, including the Gerindra Party led by Prabowo . “We all want Jakarta to progress and for its residents to be happy. That is not just the aspiration of one or two parties; everyone wants that. So, we are building communication with everyone,” said Anies.

He explained that Prabowo does not hold grudges against certain figures, including Anies Baswedan, even though the former Minister of Education and Culture (Mendikbud) RI competed against Prabowo in the 2024 Presidential Election. “Mr. Prabowo never holds grudges against those who have previously contested him; he continues to build good communication,” said Habiburokhman .

“We are committed to supporting Anies. Regarding the deputy governor candidate, we will also communicate with PDIP. It could be Anies-Prasetio Edi Marsudi, Chairman of DPRD DKI Jakarta, Kaesang Pangarep, and P Heru Budi Hartono,” stated Hasbiallah in a written statement, quoted on June 26, 2024. According to Hasbiallah, any party can promote their cadres as gubernatorial or deputy gubernatorial candidates in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. However, he mentioned that coalition discussions are needed to determine Anies’ running mate.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairperson Said Abdullah said that he had visited Cak Imin’s residence to discuss cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada. Said mentioned that PKB is ready to nominate Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. “We visited the PKB General Chair’s house, I remember it was after Friday prayers on May 30 before going to Mecca. We talked heart-to-heart, building communication among elites, sharing views,” Said explained. During the meeting, Said admitted, PKB has a strong opportunity to nominate Anies in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. “As far as I know from PKB, if I’m not mistaken, they are ready to nominate Anies Rasyid Baswedan,” he said. Said mentioned that the meeting’s results with Cak Imin had been reported to PDIP Secretary-General Hasto Kristiyanto and PDIP DPP Chairperson Puan Maharani. He said he would also report the view to Chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri. “Not necessarily with PDIP, we share views, not seeking agreement. My task is to report to Mbak Puan and Mr. Secretary-General,” said Said. “Maybe later there will be a meeting with the Chairperson to discuss the results of every lobby or mutual visits among elites,” he added.
