Secretary General of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Eddy Soeparno, announced that the chairpersons of the Coalition for Indonesia’s Future (Koalisi Indonesia Maju) will hold a meeting soon to discuss the Regional Head Elections (Pemilihan Kepala Daerah), especially in Jakarta.

**PKS Officially Nominates Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada** Previously, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) officially endorsed Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Imam as the prospective governor (cagub) and deputy governor (cawagub) candidates to run in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. This was announced by PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu in his speech at the Party Leadership School titled ‘Continuing to Defend the People’ at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday.

“Specifically for the TNI, Polri, and BIN. BIN was present earlier, in the mapping of areas, potential conflict areas must be identified for anticipation if security disturbances occur, we must mitigate before disturbances happen to avoid disrupting the 2024 Pilkada,” stated Hadi. “The TNI, Polri, and BIN must be skilled, knowing before it happens, so it can be mitigated,” he added.

Previously, Deputy Chairman of the Gerindra Party, Habiburokhman, assessed that the Anies-Muhaimin candidate pair endorsed by PKS is also not yet certain to run in the Jakarta Pilkada. “Actually, the PKS declaration yesterday has not met the quota for candidacy, so we do not yet count Anies and Sohibul as definitive candidates,” said Habiburokhman at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 26, 2024.

On the other hand, with Sohibul Iman running, Adi also noted that PKS might be aiming to partner with Anies Baswedan. “At the same time, PKS is certainly preparing Sohibul Iman to potentially partner with Anies Baswedan. PKS is quite closely associated with Anies Baswedan. This seems to be PKS’s goal, not to lose momentum as the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta and to ensure their cadre is nominated either as governor or deputy governor,” he stated.

**Prepare Alternatives** The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) proposed PKS Deputy Chair of the Syuro Council Mohamad Sohibul Iman as a prospective gubernatorial candidate for the Special Capital Region of Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada. Regarding this, political analyst Adi Prayitno sees this as a reasonable move. He noted that in addition to being a cadre party, PKS also has high voter support in Jakarta. “I think it is quite rational for PKS to nominate their internal cadre, Sohibul Iman, to run in the Jakarta Pilgub. There are two reasons: first, PKS is a cadre party that has always put forward its cadres to compete in Pilkada, not only in Jakarta but also in other regions,” he stated to Liputan6.com on June 24, 2024. “The second reason is the significant increase in PKS’s legislative vote count in 2024, making them the highest vote-winner in Jakarta. These two variables explain why PKS proposed their internal cadre,” he continued.

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).

**Listening to Various Figures** Additionally, he mentioned that the party also listened to various inputs from figures, ulama, habaib, cross-religious leaders, scholars, and the people of Jakarta. “The main considerations are candidates with good leadership experience in both the executive and legislative branches, a proven track record, credibility, capacity, and a high probability to win,” he stated. Furthermore, Syaikhu believes that the Anies-Sohibul Iman pair is a good duet. According to Syaikhu, they complement each other for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. “Some have already thought of the abbreviation AMAN (Anies-Sohibul Iman), but whatever the name, they have the necessary qualifications, are compatible, and can complement each other to lead Jakarta,” stated Syaikhu.

**Mapping KIM’s Rivals** Habiburokhman mentioned that it is difficult to map out KIM’s rivals in Jakarta. He also questioned whether it is certain that there will be a party joining PKS. “So it’s difficult to map out, whether there will be another party joining or not,” stated Habiburokhman. However, according to him, When you have any inquiries concerning exactly where and also how to employ SK calon pilkada Garut (www.liputan6.com), you are able to email us at the website. this is different with Gerindra, where they will try their best to cooperate with the parties in KIM to endorse Ridwan Kamil. “But for the Gerindra Party in Jakarta, we will try our best to build communication, especially with the KIM parties and also parties outside of it,” he stated. “We are intensifying this as the time gets closer, we cannot delay this, and a name must appear soon,” concluded Habiburokhman.

**Role as Supervisor** He hopes that KPI maintains and upholds the broadcasting media as a supervisor of government operations. “I ask that the future broadcasting law draft should be directed in line with the ideals of a democratic country that upholds the nation’s character and the noble values of Pancasila. The future existence of KPI must be stronger, so it can perform its functions optimally, representing the public interest, maintaining national morality, and strengthening the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI),” stated Ma’ruf.
