Chairman of the National Mandate Party, Zulkifli Hasan, admitted a meeting involving President Joko Widodo, also known as Jokowi, with the leaders of the government-supporting parties at the end of May 2024.

“We have notes from the previous presidential and legislative elections. We all agree on several issues such as the neutrality of the TNI-Polri, the use of the state budget (APBN), regional budget (APBD), and government programs. Hopefully, this will not happen again in the Pilkada, and this is our shared commitment,” said Ono.

“Yes, we in the Advanced Indonesia Coalition have been determined from the beginning that this coalition is not only a permanent coalition in the DPR but also in the regional elections. In various upcoming regional elections, we will sit together with the Advanced Indonesia Coalition. Then we will map out each area to determine where we can collaborate because not all areas can be partnered on,” said PAN Secretary General, Eddy Soeparno, to reporters at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday (March 18, 2024).

Director of Lingkar Madani (Lima), Ray Rangkuti, expressed surprise at PKS’s resigned move. “I am surprised by PKS. They were very quick. Even before the banana leaf turned yellow, they had already reversed their policy,” stated Ray in a written statement on Wednesday. According to Ray, this move by PKS is a sign of PKS’s weakness in negotiation and lobbying. At least, PKS has lost the opportunity twice to place their cadre in the gubernatorial position. “PKS’s weakness is their negotiation and lobbying ability. In the Jakarta political scene, PKS has accepted negotiation defeats at least twice. First, when Mardani Ali Sera was dropped as a deputy gubernatorial candidate and when they lost the right to get the gubernatorial position when Sandiaga ran as a vice-presidential candidate,” clarified Ray.

The President of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), Ahmad Syaikhu, confirmed that his party did not conduct an eligibility and propriety test for Anies Baswedan as a candidate to run in the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election .

**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 June 25, 2024. 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 stated.

Moreover, the decision to nominate Anies-Iman is primarily a result of public criticism suggesting that nominating Sohibul Iman was not a strategic move. “The name Sohibul Iman clearly lacks appeal in Jakarta. This situation gave Anies’s supporters within PKS the opportunity to push for the Anies-Iman pair,” he said. Thus, Ray believes there were no external circumstances compelling PKS to hastily declare Anies-Iman. The declaration of Anies-Iman does not benefit Anies’s position at all. “Pairing Anies-Iman is like pairing two brothers. Anies’s voters are PKS supporters. PKS supporters’ idol is Anies. So, there is no added value for this pair. They are just circling within their own inner circle,” stated Ray. This situation, Ray said, provides a fresh opportunity for other candidates who can accommodate Jakarta’s pluralism to confidently enter the Jakarta Pilkada. “Anies needs another figure who strengthens his identity beyond just one circle. The face of Jakarta is plural. Candidates should accommodate Jakarta’s pluralistic face in their pair selection. Broadening, not narrowing. Opening up, not closing down. Therefore, this situation provides a fresh breeze for other candidates to confidently enter Jakarta,” Ray closed.

According to Habiburokhman, the coalition supporting Prabowo-Gibran in the 2024 Presidential Election has not yet made an official decision regarding the gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidate pair for the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election .

Secretary-General of the National Mandate Party (PAN) Eddy Soeparno mentioned that the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) agreed to endorse the same candidate in several regions participating in the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Elections. “We mentioned from the beginning that the Advanced Indonesia Coalition, especially for the DKI Pilkada, we would agree to support a uniform candidate pair, and

“In the current election, we have to be realistic. For example, why are we communicating with PKS when there has never been cooperation between PDIP and PKS before? With the condition of KIM possibly forming in West Java, it leaves only PDIP, PKS, If you liked this informative article and also you would like to get details concerning kaesang tidak pilkada 2024 kindly stop by the internet site. PPP. We don’t know about NasDem, whether they will join the government. PKB has already, and we are continuously communicating with PPP and PKS,” explained Ono.
