However, regarding who PKS will support, Syaikhu said it is not yet final. He mentioned that communication with other parties for the Jakarta Pilkada is still ongoing. “We are continuously communicating to decide who will support Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan along with other parties.

However, Syaikhu admitted that he has not yet communicated with PDIP regarding the Jakarta Pilkada. “I haven’t talked officially,” he said.

Hold on, we are expecting guidance from the DPP. (Regarding my name being mentioned), yes, it has surfaced, thank you for the support. We are certainly waiting for direction from the DPP. Whatever duty is assigned, we are ready, I must be ready,” said Atang on Sunday (24/3/2024).

Warits emphasized that through the 2024 Pilkada, the sovereignty of the people must be safeguarded together through participatory supervision in public spaces that need to be created. “Because elections are the voice of the people, they must be protected together. They must not be lost,” he added.
