Deputy Secretary General of the National Awakening Party (Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa), Syaiful Huda, stated that the change in stance of PKS, which initially nominated Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial candidate (cagub) and then changed to making him the deputy gubernatorial candidate (calon wakil gubernur) for Anies Baswedan, is a form of internal confusion within PKS.

According to Huda, another PKS confusion is pairing Anies-Sohibul directly, which he considers a blunder. “The ensuing problem is immediately pairing Mr. Anies and Mr. Sohibul Iman. In my view, that’s a blunder,” stated. Huda said that by pairing Anies with Sohibul, it closes the door for other parties to join in supporting Anies. “This will close the door for other parties to partner and form this coalition,” he said.

Political observer Budiman from Mulawarman University (Unmul) stated that candidates running in the East Kalimantan Regional Election should be transparent. “Prospective regents in the East Kalimantan Regional Election must be transparent and free from money politics,” he said.

Huda reminded that the Jakarta Pilkada is very fluid and nothing is fixed yet, including PKS, even though they are the winners of the Jakarta Legislative Election, but they cannot nominate on their own. “Nominating two figures at once as governor and deputy governor candidates, that’s in terms of political etiquette for a party that already has a golden ticket, has 20 percent. Now, we know our PKS friends did win in the last legislative election. But they haven’t exceeded 20 percent because they only have 18 seats while the 20 percent is 22 seats,” stated. “So in my opinion, this model of hoarding figures for a party that doesn’t meet and doesn’t have a golden ticket is dangerous, dangerous,” he said.

If this comes to fruition, the two parties will set up a challenger for the Khofifah-Emil Dardak duo. “Perhaps we can work together with PKB in East Java, right,” Eriko told the press at the parliamentary complex, Jakarta, Monday (10/6/2024). He was hopeful about the strength of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle and PKB in East Java, as both parties possess numerous 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 come together, why not?” he said.

He stated that the consideration regarding the Anies-Sohibul Iman duo was based on suggestions from the PKS Jakarta Regional Leadership Council (DPW) submitted to the PKS Central Executive Board (DPP). The DPP PKS also listened to suggestions from clerics, habaib, interfaith leaders, religious leaders, intellectuals, and the people of DKI Jakarta. “We are looking at the reality of the situation, how the suggestions from the DPW and inputs from various parties are also taken into account,” he said.

**Anticipate Offers for PKS** Adi also sees this as PKS’s effort to anticipate offers from the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM), which is serious about proposing Ridwan Kamil for Jakarta. “At the same time, PKS is a political party highly sought after by other contestants to be their vice-candidate. For example, there was an offer from the KIM camp for PKS to be Ridwan Kamil’s running mate. In this context, PKS is deliberately nominating their cadre to anticipate serious offers to be Ridwan Kamil’s running mate,” he said.

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.

Kaka Suminta emphasized that to prevent any allegations of lobbying by prospective regent and deputy regent pairs regarding administrative verification, If you liked this article so you would like to obtain more info with regards to Teknologi hadapi kejahatan anak i implore you to visit our web page. the central KPU must step in. “There must be oversight from the central KPU,” said Kaka. He added that to avert any clandestine attempts at committing fraud during administrative verification, the central KPU should enforce strict oversight. “If pairs do not pass administrative verification, they should not be given any leeway that could damage democracy,” he said.

The outcomes show that three candidates are contending in the 2024 Jember election: Faida, the former Regent of Jember (2016-2021), DPRD East Java member Muhammad Fawait, and Hendy Siswanto, the incumbent Regent of Jember. “The survey results show that Siswanto and Faida are very recognized by the people of Jember, with awareness rates exceeding 80 percent. 82.7 percent of the people know Faida, 78.7 percent know Hendy Siswanto, and Muhammad Fawait has a 65.7 percent awareness rate. Other figures, such as Jaddin Wajads, Education Head Achmad Sudiyono, and Hadi Supaat of PDI Perjuangan, have popularity ratings below 40 percent,” said A. Irawan in a press release on June 15, 2024.

**Prepare Alternatives** The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) proposed PKS Deputy Chair of the Syuro Council Mohamad Sohibul Iman as a prospective gubernatorial candidate for the Special Capital Region of Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada. Regarding this, political analyst Adi Prayitno sees this as a reasonable move. He noted that in addition to being a cadre party, PKS also has high voter support in Jakarta. “I think it is quite rational for PKS to propose their internal cadre, Sohibul Iman, to run in the Jakarta Pilgub. There are two reasons: first, PKS is a cadre party that has always put forward its cadres to compete in Pilkada, not only in Jakarta but also in other regions,” he stated to Liputan6.com on June 24, 2024. “The second reason is the significant increase in PKS’s legislative vote count in 2024, making them the highest vote-winner in Jakarta. These two variables explain why PKS proposed their internal cadre,” he continued.
