“Because the regulations for regional elections and general elections are different. For general elections, each TPS has no more than 300 voters, while for regional elections, it can have up to 800 voters,” she explained.

According to Anies, besides support from the National Awakening Party (PKB) and PKS, there will be other political parties (parpol) that will also back his determination. “Praise be to God after PKB and PKS, Insyaallah there will be other parties willing to struggle together to restore Jakarta a modern city with happy citizens,” stated Anies through his Instagram account @aniesbaswedan on June 26, 2024. Anies is currently in Spain. He mentioned that upon returning to the homeland, he will soon communicate with PKS leadership to discuss further steps for upcoming Jakarta Pilkada 2024. “We’ve struggled together in Jakarta as well as nationally with PKS, God willing we will continue to fight together in the future,” he stated.

Of this number, about 43 percent are first-time voters. “There are definitely challenges because West Java is a region with the largest number of voters, approximately 35 million voters. Besides managing the number of voters, we also have to manage the vast area of West Java. Although we have 27 regencies and cities, which is slightly fewer than East Java and Central Java, the vast area of West Java is a challenge,” said Ummi.

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.

The announcement was made at the Party Leadership School (SKP) of the PKS Central Leadership Board (DPP) as a briefing for all elected DPR RI and provincial DPRD members throughout Indonesia at the Sahid Hotel, South Jakarta, Tuesday (25/6/2024). “The DPTP of PKS in the meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024, decided to nominate Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as the prospective gubernatorial candidate and Mr. Muhammad Sohibul Iman as the prospective vice-gubernatorial candidate, ready to fight for their victory?” said Syaikhu at the Sahid Hotel.

“However, the provincial KPU policy is to optimize this to no more than 600 voters per TPS. This means that from the previous 147,451 TPS, there will certainly be merged TPS because the number of voters per TPS has increased according to the regulations,” Ummi continued.

**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,” said 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 said.

Head of PKS Ahmad Syaikhu detailed the reasons for endorsing Anies-Sohibul Iman for the Jakarta governor race in 2024. Anies Baswedan is considered a competent leader during his term as Jakarta Governor. According to Syaikhu, Anies’ performance has pleased the people of Jakarta. “Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan successfully served as the governor from 2017-2022 with various achievements in multiple sectors of advancement, enhancing the metropolis and delighting its citizens,” said Syaikhu at the commencement of the Leadership Academy at the Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel, Central Jakarta, on June 25, 2024. Meanwhile, Sohibul Iman, Syaikhu noted, is a intellectual with a proven track record in government. “Mr. Sohibul Iman is a policy specialist and a scholar who has served as the head of Paramadina University. He served in the parliament as Deputy Speaker of the DPR RI for the 2013-2014 session and previously was the president of PKS from 2015-2020,” clarified Syaikhu.

The officials present included Acting Director General of Political and Public Administration Togap Simangunsong, Deputy Coordinator for Domestic Political Affairs at the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Major General TNI Heri Wiranto, Assistant Deputy for Election and Political Party Management Brigadier General TNI Haryadi, Assistant Intelligence TNI Djaka Budhi Utama, Deputy Director of National Security Agency Police, Member of DKPP I Dewa Kade Wiarsa, Secretary of DIY, and Klaten Regent Sri Mulyani .
