**PKS Receives Positive Signal from Surya Paloh to Build Coalition in Jakarta Pilkada** The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has endorsed the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair for the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub. PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu mentioned that the General Chairman of the Nasdem Party, Surya Paloh, has given a positive signal towards this pair. “I am continuously building political communication with the NasDem Party, especially I made an effort to meet Mr. Surya Paloh, praise be to God he received me warmly and gave a positive signal to build cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada,” said Syaikhu at the Sahid Hotel, Jakarta, on Tuesday. Syaikhu said that PKS needs to build communication with other political parties, including NasDem, to meet the requirements for the nomination of governor and deputy governor in the Jakarta Pilkada. “PKS understands it cannot nominate a candidate alone because the number of seats we have does not yet meet the requirements to endorse independently; we have only 18 seats, and 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 next few days, I will also try to communicate with PKB, with Cak Imin,” he ended.

Usually, the Pilkada is conducted in two phases, namely the local elections and the dispute route at the Constitutional Court (MK). “Usually, if the Pilkada is held twice, it means what? It means first held locally, secondly at the MK,” said Hadi while giving guidance in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Wednesday. “That’s why the TNI-Polri must be cautious about safeguarding during the actual Pilkada and during the MK sessions, ensuring the readiness of the TNI-Polri forces to secure the regions,” he continued.

Preventing Conflict Before the 2024 Pilkada Hadi Tjahjanto gave a specific instruction to the TNI, Polri, and BIN for the safety of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada. Hadi advised that regions with possible conflicts must be addressed before security disturbances arise. He said this while giving instructions in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Wednesday. “Particularly TNI, Polri, and BIN. BIN was also present, in the identification of regions, must determine regions with possible conflicts to mitigate security disturbances before they occur,” said Hadi. “TNI, Polri, and BIN have to be vigilant, aware in advance, so that they can anticipate any possible issues,” he added. Furthermore, Hadi requested synergy from local governments in facilitating the 2024 Pilkada implementation. If local governments fail to support, the simultaneous Pilkada will inevitably be hindered. “Therefore, total synergy can guarantee the successful conduct of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada,” he stated. Hadi urged local governments to take strategic steps, including avoiding overlaps between the central and local governments.

**PKS: 2 Coalitions in Jakarta Pilkada More Attractive, Higher Chance of Winning** PKS spokesperson Pipin Sopian mentioned that the party prefers having two coalitions in the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub. This is because the chances of winning are higher as the election will not go to two rounds. “Yes, actually, two or three coalitions are interesting. For us, two coalitions are more attractive; our chances of winning are higher. If there are three coalitions, it could go to two rounds, which we are also considering,” stated Pipin at the Sahid Hotel, Jakarta, on Monday. Pipin mentioned that the possibility of forming a new coalition for the Jakarta Pilgub is still open. However, this must be discussed with other political parties. “All these possibilities exist, and we are just one party among many, so we need to talk together,” he stated.
