Meanwhile, 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 directive from the PPP leadership, so I, as a soldier, am ready to be assigned anywhere,” he said .

**Sohibul Iman Ready to Run for Jakarta Governor** Deputy Chair of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Syuro Council Mohamad Sohibul Iman admitted he is ready to run as a gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. Sohibul said he had been informed by the PKS DPP about the decision to nominate him as a gubernatorial candidate in the Jakarta Pilkada. However, he said he has no special preparation. “I have no special preparation, but as a party cadre, I must always be ready to accept any mandate,” said Sohibul Iman when confirmed, quoted on Monday, June 24, 2024. According to Sohibul, the PKS DPP decision is a follow-up to the recommendation from the PKS DKI Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW). His name emerged from several other names also proposed by the PKS DKI Jakarta DPW, such as PKS DPP Chair Mardani Ali Sera, PKS DKI Chair Khoirudin, and former Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan. “This mandate is an aspiration (proposal, desire, and hope) from the DKI cadre and inspiration (thoughts, considerations, and decisions) from the Central Leadership,” said Sohibul. Therefore, Sohibul Iman said he would accept the task given by PKS to run in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial race. “As a cadre, it is not appropriate for me to ignore the cadre’s aspirations and the leadership’s inspiration,” said Sohibul.

Sotarduga stated that PDI-P has many members who could be endorsed as the 2024 East Java gubernatorial candidate, including Pramono Anung, the Cabinet Secretary. “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 Pramono Anung, he also pointed out Social Affairs Minister 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.

If this materializes, the two parties will prepare an opponent for the Khofifah and Emil Dardak. “Perhaps we can work together with PKB in East Java, right,” Eriko told reporters at the Senayan complex, Senayan, Monday. He expressed optimism about the strength of PDI-P and Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa 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.

**PKS Does Not Want to Be Just a Ronin** Political analyst Adi Prayitno believes that PKS’s decision to propose its cadre is understandable, given that in the 2017 Jakarta Pilkada, PKS could only nominate candidates from other parties. “Even the deputy gubernatorial position left by Sandiaga Uno, which should have been PKS’s share, was also willingly given to Gerindra,” stated Adi.

Adi assesses that in this Jakarta Pilkada, PKS does not want to continue being a supporter of other parties’ cadres. PKS wants to be a deciding party. Especially with the label as the winner of the legislative elections in Jakarta. “As the winning party in the legislative elections, PKS certainly does not want to continue being a ronin. PKS does not want to be merely political firewood for proposing candidates, but to have a PKS cadre as governor or deputy governor,” said Adi. “This time, PKS wants to appear as a leader candidate. As the main actor in winning, and as a figure who can secure Jakarta 1 or Jakarta 2. That’s the point,” said Adi.
