In addition, he continued, the popularity of Al Haris is already at a maximum of 98%, while the recognition of Romi Hariyanto is still at 74.3% and has the potential to continue rising. “Additionally, the level of public desire for Al Haris to return as governor is above 35.4% (below 50 percent).

Previously reported, the PKS Central Leadership Council (DPP) nominated the Deputy Chairman of the PKS Syuro Council, Mohamad Sohibul Iman, as the prospective gubernatorial candidate for the Special Capital Region of Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada. Political analyst Adi Prayitno sees this as reasonable. Besides being a cadre party, PKS also has significant support in Jakarta. “I think it’s quite rational for PKS to nominate their internal cadre, Sohibul Iman, to run in the Jakarta gubernatorial election. There are two arguments: first, PKS is a cadre party that has always pushed their cadres to compete in regional elections, not just in Jakarta but also elsewhere,” he said to Liputan6.com, Monday (24/6/2024).

**Puan Says PDIP Considers Nominating Anies Baswedan in Jakarta Pilkada** The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) is considering the name Anies Baswedan to be nominated in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The decision to consider nominating the former presidential candidate as Jakarta’s gubernatorial candidate came after PDIP DPP Chairperson Said Abdullah met with PKB General Chair Muhaimin Iskandar, also known as Cak Imin, to discuss cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada. “The existing names will be reviewed later. All names are considered,” said PDIP DPP Chairperson Puan Maharani at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday. Besides the Jakarta Pilkada, Puan also admitted they are considering figures for the East Java Pilkada. “We communicate all names and also try to simulate them because each region has its own peculiarities. So all names need to be considered,” she said.

The friendly partnership in between Prabowo and Megawati is more than simply a personal connection; it represents the opportunity of cooperation and understanding in Indonesian national politics. It works as a bridge for dialogue in between two considerable political intrigues, which is vital for the country’s stability and development.
