Quick count is a rapid counting method conducted by survey institutions, and its results can provide an early indication of who will be the winner in the Pilkada contest. With quick count results, the public can obtain information more quickly about the election outcome before the official announcement from the General Election Commission (KPU).

**PKS Officially Nominates Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada** Previously, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) officially endorsed Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Imam as the prospective governor (cagub) and deputy governor (cawagub) candidates to run in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. This was announced by PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu in his speech at the Party Leadership School titled ‘Continuing to Defend the People’ at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on June 25, 2024.

If this comes to fruition, the two parties will arrange a contender for the Khofifah-Emil Dardak duo. “Perhaps we can work together with PKB in East Java, right,” Sotarduga told the press at the Senayan complex, Jakarta’s Senayan, June 10, 2024. He was hopeful about the strength of PDI-P and the National Awakening Party in East Java, as both parties hold a significant number of DPRD seats. “The winner in East Java now is PKB, and in the last period, we were the winners. So, if the current period’s winner and the last period’s winner collaborate, why not?” he said.

“The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) in a meeting on June 20, 2024 decided to endorse Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as the prospective governor candidate and Mr. Sohibul Iman as the prospective deputy governor candidate,” said Syaikhu. He explained that the PKS Central Executive Board’s (DPP) decision to nominate Anies and Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada was based on suggestions from the PKS Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW). “I have received a letter from the Jakarta DPW structure that has proposed the Jakarta governor candidate to the DPP PKS, followed by the Jakarta deputy governor candidate to the DPP PKS. Among them is a letter requesting approval and determination of Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Mr. Mohammad Sohibul Iman as the governor and deputy governor candidates of Jakarta,” said Syaikhu.

Thus, the quick count results of the second round of the 2017 DKI Pilkada have the potential to shape the policy direction and political dynamics in Jakarta in the long term and impact the governance and development of the region.

nMeanwhile, Sandiaga admitted that there has been no directive from the PPP Central Executive Board (DPP) to run in the Jakarta Regional Election, but he stated that he is ready if assigned . “There has been no instruction from the PPP leadership, so I am ready to be assigned wherever needed,” he said

E. Sotarduga stated that PDI-P has many potential candidates who could be endorsed as the candidate for the 2024 East Java governor, including Secretary of the Cabinet Pramono Anung. “Now let me ask, don’t we have a candidate for governor? We do. Can’t Mr. Pram do it? He could in Jakarta, why not in East Java,” he said. Besides Anung, he also highlighted Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini and Budget Board Chief Said Abdullah. “Could Mrs. Tri Rismaharini not be suitable for East Java? Could Mr. Said Abdullah not be suitable for East Java?” he added.

**Proposing Anies** Previously, the Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW) of PKS proposed Anies Baswedan to run as a gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The PKS DPP is requesting the deputy gubernatorial seat. PKS Syuro Council Deputy Chair Hidayat Nur Wahid (HNW) mentioned that Anies’s name is indeed being discussed externally. Thus, PKS requests that its cadre be Anies’s deputy if the PKS DPP supports Anies. “For example, if Mr. Anies is the gubernatorial candidate from PKS, and he is also proposed by other parties, making him a cross-party candidate, then it is only fair that PKS proposes the deputy governor from PKS,” stated HNW during an interview at the PKS DPP office, Jakarta, on June 18, 2024. He clarified the strong reason for the party’s request for the deputy gubernatorial seat. “In the previous period, PKS supported Mr. Anies as the gubernatorial candidate, but the deputy was not from PKS. It is only fair now that PKS gets the deputy position. Once again, PKS is very capable of providing a competent deputy governor,” he stated.

In the second round, the candidates’ power map was evident from the vote distribution in various regions and voter groups. For instance, Anies-Sandi tended to receive support from urban voters, while Ahok-Djarot was stronger in suburban areas. Additionally, younger and highly educated voters tended to support Anies-Sandi, while older and less educated voters leaned towards Ahok-Djarot.

“The party leaders regularly meet, but I think in the near future, there will be more specific discussions,” stated PAN Secretary General Eddy Soeparno at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday. According to him, the sooner a decision is made on the candidate to be nominated for the Jakarta Pilkada, the better. “Because the longer it takes, the closer it gets to the time we have to decide, and for us, deciding quickly is better because we have time to socialize the candidate pair,” stated Eddy. He also hopes that the decision on the candidate pair from the political parties (parpol) of the Coalition for Indonesia’s Future (KIM) in Jakarta can be made in July. “Hopefully, if given a deadline, I think this is a process and political dialogue cannot be given a time limit, so we also want to propose a definitive name as soon as possible,” said Eddy.
