“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).

In addition to the Jakarta Pilkada, Puan admitted that she is also considering candidates for the East Java Pilkada. “We communicate all names and try to simulate all names because each region has its own differences and peculiarities. So all names need to be considered,” she stated.

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

According to Syaikhu, PKS indeed needs to form a coalition with other political parties to support Anies-Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. “We will invite various other parties to support this pair,” he said. However, Syaikhu admitted that there has been no communication with PDIP leadership regarding the Jakarta Pilkada so far. “Officially, I haven’t (communicated with PDIP),” he said.

Additionally, he mentioned that his party also listened to various inputs from figures, clerics, habaib, interfaith leaders, religious leaders, intellectuals, and the people of Jakarta. “The main considerations are candidates who have good leadership experience in both the executive and legislative branches, a proven track record, high credibility, capacity, and a high probability of winning,” he said.

Previously, Bambang Pacul revealed that his party is still finalizing the nominations for the 2024 Central Java Pilgub. Pacul emphasized that PDIP is open to any prominent figures, including Central Java Police Chief Inspector General Ahmad Luthfi. “It is still in discussion and under survey, and we will report the decision to the central committee,” Bambang Pacul stated in response to whether the Central Java PDIP has shortlisted Ahmad Luthfi’s name at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 20, 2024. Pacul mentioned that the names of prominent figures emerging from various survey results will be proposed to the PDIP Central Executive Board (DPP). He left the decision on the Central Java Pilkada nominations to PDIP Chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri. “The decision is at the central level, but we will submit the data and survey results,” Pacul stated in response to questions about Ahmad Luthfi being considered by PDIP in Central Java. “The final decision in Central Java is in the hands of the Chairwoman. If PDIP doesn’t nominate, it’s impossible. We will definitely nominate someone. Which one, we don’t know yet,” he stated.

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.

**Response from Central Java Police Chief Ahmad Luthfi** Central Java Police Chief Inspector General Ahmad Luthfi’s name is gaining traction to run in the 2024 Central Java Pilkada. He responded to this matter. “I am still on duty. If it is the people’s aspiration and the people assess it, but for now, I am still on duty carrying out official activities,” Luthfi said at The Tribrata, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, on Monday. So far, he has not communicated with any political party about the Central Java Pilkada. “Not yet, not yet (no communication),” he stated. However, he is ready to relinquish his position if nominated as a gubernatorial candidate by a political party. “Yes, of course (I will resign if nominated),” he stated. He has not yet decided to resign from the police force in the near future. Luthfi mentioned that he is still monitoring the situation going forward. “We will see the situation,” he stated.
