Deputy Secretary General of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Syaiful Huda, believes that PKS’s decision to pair Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman is very risky and could potentially block other political parties interested in supporting Anies in the 2024 Jakarta Regional Elections.

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.

“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).

It has been announced that, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has officially nominated Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman as the prospective gubernatorial (cagub) and vice-gubernatorial (cawagub) candidates for the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election (Pilgub). This was announced by PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu in his speech at the Party Leadership School event titled ‘Continuing to Defend the People’ at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, Tuesday (25/6/2024).

“I have received a letter from the DPW DKI Jakarta structure that proposed the DKI gubernatorial candidate to the PKS DPP, followed by the DKI vice-gubernatorial candidate to the PKS DPP. Among the letters, there was a request to endorse, approve, and designate Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Mr. Mohammad Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial and vice-gubernatorial candidates for DKI,” said Syaikhu.

“PPP has endured a long conflict before; internal division was very time-consuming and yielded no positive results. Now, all party members must come together as one extended family, holding hands and working collectively. Therefore, discard any potential splits such as the issue of the congress, whether it’s an special congress or an early congress,” said Fernita on 17th June 2024. Fernita mentioned that the organization already has rules or systems in place. Thus, a decision cannot be made by a single entity or, in other words, ignoring the established rules. “So, if there are pushes for an early congress to replace the chairman, it must comply with PPP’s regulations or mechanisms. The execution of a congress must go through the National Working Meeting, before the national leadership conference, and before that, a meeting of the daily board of the DPP to decide the working meeting or the leadership meeting,” she explained. “Recently, the IX National Leadership Meeting, joined by 38 DPW from across Indonesia, produced a conclusion that the general assembly will be held based on the AD/ART period, which is in 2025. This dismisses all concerns or pushes for an accelerated congress,” she emphasized. Unified Lastly, Fernita called for that after the 2024 election, the entire large family and senior members of PPP commence packaging action plans for facing the 2029 polls. “God willing|If God wills|Inshallah, by uniting, PPP will be ready to handle the 2029 election even better,” she wrapped up.

The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) does not rule out forming a coalition with the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) after officially endorsing Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates in the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election. “Yes, it is very possible (to form a coalition with PDIP),” said Syaikhu at the Opening of the Party Leadership School at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday, June 25, 2024.

This was announced by PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu in his speech at the Party Leadership School themed ‘Continuing to Defend the People’ at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday, June 25, 2024. “The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) decided in a meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024, to endorse Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as the gubernatorial candidate and Mr. Sohibul Iman as the deputy gubernatorial candidate,” said Syaikhu.

“Whoever becomes the candidate is ultimately for the people of Jakarta, for the good of the people of Jakarta. So there is no problem if the people of Jakarta trust us, of course, we will lead. If not, there is no problem,” said the former PKS President.

The KPU will be in charge of Sirekap during the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections. “Oh, absolutely. If it’s the final responsibility (Sirekap) for elections and regional elections, it remains with the KPU RI,” said Betty at the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas, Jakarta, as reported by Antara, Wednesday (29/5/2024).

Huda reminded that the Jakarta Regional Election is very fluid and nothing is fixed, including PKS as the winner of the Jakarta Election but unable to nominate candidates independently. “Nominating two figures as governor and deputy governor candidates requires a party that already has a golden ticket, which means 20 percent,” he said. “We know that PKS won the recent legislative elections. However, they haven’t reached 20 percent because they only have 18 seats, while 20 percent requires 22 seats,” concluded Huda.

“The PKS DPP, in a meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024, has decided to nominate Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as the prospective gubernatorial candidate and Mr. Sohibul Iman as the prospective vice-gubernatorial candidate,” said Syaikhu.
