The Executive Director of Indonesian Political Parameters stated that the present conditions and situation are still very dynamic, considering that the Pilkada is still six months away. Therefore, it is natural for political elite to still be deliberating potential names to propose. However, based on current survey data, there are only two major names. “Anies is still the strongest, closely followed by RK,” he said, as quoted on Saturday (8/6/2024). Other names, although appearing in surveys, are still not competitive enough to compete with Anies Baswedan or RK. “If a name like Anies can run, the only suitable opponent is RK. Other names are not yet competitive,” Adi said.

“As the winning party in Jakarta, PKS has decided to advocate for its best cadre as the candidate for Governor of Jakarta. The candidate we are nominating is Mohamad Sohibul Iman, who currently serves as the Deputy Chair of the PKS Syuro Council,” stated Mabruri in his statement on Sunday. Mabruri continued that Sohibul Iman is a figure with considerable capacity. Sohibul Iman led PKS during the 2015-2020 period. “This means he has proven leadership in elevating PKS. He also has a long track record in the political arena,” clarified Mabruri.

Director General of Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil) Irman stated that in updating voter data for the simultaneous regional elections starting at the end of 2015, a one-door system is used. This ensures that there are no duplicate voter data. “The guarantee is that we manage the population database with an online system. Therefore, duplicate data, God willing, will no longer exist,” said Irman after the handover of the Potential Voter Population Data (DP4) at the Ministry of Home Affairs building in Jakarta, Wednesday, June 3, 2015.

Furthermore, HNW disclosed that potential PKS cadres to be Anies’s deputy include PKS DKI Jakarta DPW Chair Khoirudin, PKS elected DPR RI member candidates, and Gamal Albinsaid. “However, all of this is still fluid, and the PKS DPP is still observing all developments to make a decision soon,” he stated.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairperson Eriko Sotarduga proposed that if their party partners with PKB to support Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta Pilkada, they propose the gubernatorial seat in East Java to PDIP. “For example, in Jakarta, if PKB is the gubernatorial candidate, may PDIP be the gubernatorial candidate in East Java? Of course, it’s not a barter, but that’s what cooperation means, we can’t achieve everything on our own, we must work together,” stated Eriko at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 25, 2024.

“The proposal from Eriko is intriguing,” stated Huda at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 26, 2024. According to Huda, the possibility of PKB allying with PDIP in Jakarta is open if PDIP is ready to become the deputy governor for Anies and if PKS does not manage to find a coalition partner in the Jakarta Pilkada. “It is possible that PKB, with PDIP as the deputy, could happen if PKS does not get to form a coalition,” explained Huda.

**Proposing Anies** Previously, the Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW) of PKS nominated Anies Baswedan to run as a gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The PKS DPP is requesting the deputy gubernatorial seat. PKS Syuro Council Deputy Chair Hidayat Nur Wahid (HNW) stated that Anies’s name is indeed being discussed externally. Here is more in regards to edy rahmayadi pilkada sumut, knowing it, visit our web site. Thus, PKS requests that its cadre be Anies’s deputy if the PKS DPP supports Anies. “For example, if Mr. Anies is the gubernatorial candidate from PKS, and he is also proposed by other parties, making him a cross-party candidate, then it is only fair that PKS proposes the deputy governor from PKS,” said HNW during an interview at the PKS DPP office, Jakarta, on Tuesday. He explained the strong reason for the party’s request for the deputy gubernatorial seat. “In the previous period, PKS supported Mr. Anies as the gubernatorial candidate, but the deputy was not from PKS. It is only fair now that PKS gets the deputy position. Once again, PKS is very capable of providing a competent deputy governor,” he stated.

According to Ujang, this win-win solution can already be seen. For instance, in West Java, Gerindra Party is open to nominating Dedi Mulyadi, who has already become their cadre. Therefore, they are pushing RK to compete in Jakarta. “In West Java, Gerindra might want to take it with Dedi Mulyadi as the gubernatorial candidate and Ridwan Kamil from Golkar in Jakarta. This is a win-win solution for KIM to win in both regions,” he said.
