Wasekjen 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 (calon gubernur) and then changed to making him the deputy gubernatorial candidate (cawagub) for Anies Baswedan, is a form of internal confusion within PKS.

However, Syaikhu admitted that there has been no formal communication with PDIP leaders regarding the Jakarta Regional Election so far. “I haven’t formally communicated with PDIP yet,” explained Syaikhu.

Before entering politics, he continued, Sohibul Iman was known as a technocrat and Muslim scholar. He was involved in the technology sector at the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT). “He is a blend of a skilled bureaucrat, a capable politician, and a respected intellectual in the educational field,” concluded Mabruri.

“Ahmad Ali 30.8%, Anwar Hafid 19%, Rusdy Mastura 8.2%, Ma’mun Amir 5.5%, Irwan Lapatta 3.6%, Hidayat Lamakarate 3.5%. Undecided or didn’t respond 29.4%,” stated Indikator Politik Indonesia, Monday (June 24, 2024).

Furthermore, Syaikhu is confident that the Anies-Sohibul Iman pair is a good match. According to Syaikhu, they complement each other well for the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election. “There is already a nickname for them, AMAN (Anies-Sohibul Iman). Whatever the name, (Anies-Sohibul Iman) have strong qualifications, are compatible, and can complement each other in leading Jakarta,” said Syaikhu.

Gerindra Party Daily Chairman Sufmi Dasco Ahmad refuted the claim that the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) is considering nominating Anies Baswedan with PSI Chairman Kaesang Pangarep for the Jakarta Regional Election. Dasco stressed that there has never been a discussion about the Anies-Kaesang pairing within the coalition. “That’s not true, it has never been discussed,” said Dasco to reporters at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday (June 20, 2024)

**PKB Says Not Certain to Support Anies Baswedan** PKB Deputy Secretary General Syaiful Huda emphasized that his party is not certain to support Anies Baswedan in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. This is because PKB still has one more name being considered, namely Ida Fauziyah. “PKB has not yet decided to support Anies, we are considering two names,” stated Huda, during an interview at the Parliamentary Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 26.

Moreover, for the Jakarta Pilkada, they have not yet reported to the Chairman of PKB, Muhaimin Iskandar, also known as Cak Imin. “It is still at the Pilkada desk level, we have not reported to Cak Imin. For several Pilkada, including Jakarta, we have not yet reported to Cak Imin,” he said. Furthermore, Huda emphasized that the dynamics in the Jakarta Pilkada are still very fluid, even though PKS has already nominated Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman. “We must place everything, especially the Jakarta Pilkada, in a very fluid space. I can still say it hasn’t taken shape, not even with us. In KIM, the figures are still being pulled. This means the Jakarta Pilkada is still very fluid from all sides, from all camps. Including from the KIM camp,” he added.

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 expressed his readiness if assigned. “There has been no instruction from the PPP leadership, so I am ready to be assigned wherever needed,” he said.

Eko mentioned that the final decision on gubernatorial candidates will appear just before the registration of regional head candidates in August. “Zita could be paired with Kaesang, Anies maybe, or even Sohibul Iman, so it’s still very open,” he said. So far, according to him, the Jakarta PAN Regional Leadership Council (DPW PAN) has communicated with various parties to determine the candidate to be supported . He assured that the support would be for a candidate who is appropriate for the community, not just for the party. “Everyone is being communicated with, everyone, yes, talking to each other, and later we will see which one is most suitable,” he added

Earlier, Jakarta PAN Regional Chairman Eko Hendro Purnomo, or Eko Patrio, mentioned that his party would prioritize supporting the gubernatorial candidate endorsed by the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) for the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election. He noted that Jakarta residents have several candidate options, such as Sohibul Iman, Ridwan Kamil, and Anies Baswedan. Thus, he is awaiting guidance from KIM on which candidate to support

Earlier, PPP politician Sandiaga Uno expressed that Anies Baswedan has a significant opportunity in the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election. Sandiaga believes that the continuity of development in Jakarta is necessary and will benefit Anies’ position .

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,” he said. “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 concluded If you cherished this write-up and you would like to get a lot more information regarding long-term food assistance [Read More Here] kindly stop by the page. .
