Democracy is a system of government where the people have the right to choose their leaders through elections. One of the main characteristics of democracy is the periodic conduct of elections. In Indonesia, elections are the political mechanism for the people to elect the president and vice president, as well as legislative members at the national, provincial, and regency/city levels. Elections are held every five years, in accordance with the provisions in the 1945 Constitution. Besides elections, there are also regional elections (Pilkada) conducted to elect regional heads at the provincial and regency levels.

“PKS has the Chairman of DPRD DKI. They can’t take the deputy governor position too. I think Anies-Pras is ideal,” he said. Moreover, he added, the relationship between Anies Baswedan and Prasetyo has been established since Anies served as the governor of Jakarta from 2017 to 2022. Furthermore, Hasbiallah hopes that communication between PKB and PDIP can be established quickly so that the deputy governor position for Anies can be finalized.

**Pairing Anies-Sohibul in the Jakarta Pilkada is a Blunder** Deputy Secretary General (Wasekjen) of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Syaiful Huda, stated that the change in stance by PKS, which initially proposed Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial candidate and then changed to deputy governor for Anies Baswedan, reflects internal confusion within PKS. “The internal confusion among PKS friends, which should have been internal PKS consumption, has been published,” stated Huda at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday.

The 2024 election and Pilkada schedules have been set. The 2024 election is scheduled to be held in February, with the exact date still awaiting an official decision from the KPU. Meanwhile, the simultaneous Pilkada will be held after the 2024 election process is completed.

Unexpectedly, the Islam-based party declared Mohamad Sohibul Iman as the Jakarta gubernatorial candidate, while two well-known names, Anies Baswedan and Ridwan Kamil, were often featured in the news. As the winning party in the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta, PKS feels entitled and well-positioned to propose its own cadre. “As the winning party (legislative elections) in Jakarta, PKS has decided to advocate for its best cadre as the Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. The candidate we are proposing is Mohamad Sohibul Iman, who currently serves as the Deputy Chair of the PKS Syuro Council,” said PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) Spokesperson Ahmad Mabruri on Sunday, June 23, 2024. “We have decided that we will propose Mohamad Sohibul Iman, former PKS President, former Deputy Speaker of the DPR RI, and former Rector of Paramadina University. With whom PKS and Mr. Sohibul Iman will pair, we will see based on the coalition composition that forms,” Mabruri continued.

Meanwhile, Esa Unggul University political communication analyst M. Jamiluddin Ritonga assesses that in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada, PKS will still form a coalition with the National Awakening Party (PKB) and the NasDem Party, which will likely nominate Anies Baswedan. Added to that, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), which is interested in proposing Anies in the Jakarta Pilkada. However, another possibility might occur if the deputy gubernatorial position for Anies is not given to PKS. It is predicted that PKS will cross over to the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM), which will nominate Ridwan Kamil. “PKS will hope to get the deputy gubernatorial position by joining KIM. If PKS is accepted by KIM, there is a possibility that Sohibul Iman will accompany Ridwan Kamil,” said Jamil.

KIM would certainly prefer Kaesang over Sohibul Iman as Ridwan Kamil’s running mate,” Jamil added. If that happens, according to Jamil, PKB and NasDem might join PDIP to nominate Anies as gubernatorial candidate, with the deputy gubernatorial candidate from PDIP. “In the Jakarta Pilgub, it seems that there will be a confrontation between two coalitions. The Change Coalition plus PDIP will propose Anies and a PDIP cadre, while KIM is more likely to nominate Ridwan Kamil-Kaesang,” stated Jamil. “If this happens, PKS might end up empty-handed. PKS will have the possibility of not getting anything in the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub,” stated the former Dean of FIKIM IISIP Jakarta.

Political communication expert from Esa Unggul University, M. Jamiluddin Ritonga, believes that PKS’s decision to propose its cadre in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada is a rational move. Not only because of its status as the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta, but also due to the party’s solid machinery. However, according to Jamil, the decision to nominate Sohibul Iman as a gubernatorial candidate is another matter. The former PKS President is considered not popular among Jakarta residents. “PKS proposing Sohibul Iman seems to be aimed at increasing their bargaining position. As the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta, PKS wants its cadre to be included in the Jakarta gubernatorial or deputy gubernatorial race. Therefore, PKS seems to have proposed Sohibul Iman early on. The goal is to ensure that PKS at least gets the deputy gubernatorial position,” said Jamil to Liputan6.com on Monday, June 24, 2024.

So far, there has been no comment from Anies Baswedan regarding PKS’s decision to nominate him for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. Previously, PKS officially nominated Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Imam as the prospective gubernatorial and vice-gubernatorial candidates for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. This announcement was made by PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu in his speech at the Party Leadership School event titled ‘Continuing to Defend the People’ at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, Tuesday (25/6/2024).
