Deputy Secretary General of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Syaiful Huda, believes that PKS’s decision to pair Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman is very risky and could potentially block other political parties interested in supporting Anies in the 2024 Jakarta Regional Elections.

PSI Chairman Kaesang Pangarep stated that there has been no special communication with former Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan about the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election. However, he stressed that he and Anies are different. “There has been no communication so far, but just for your information, friends, and I think you know, Mr. Anies and I are different,” said Kaesang after Friday prayers on Jalan Kramat, Central Jakarta, Friday (June 21, 2024).

Baswedan only smiled slightly when he heard about the accusations of Jokowi’s meddling. He did not want to give further comments on the matter. “All processes are still continuing, just let it flow,” Anies Baswedan said when approached after joining a reunion with the DKI Jakarta Pancasila Youth MPW in Pejaten, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (19/6/2024). Furthermore, In case you beloved this information along with you would like to acquire more information regarding Rapat Paripurna RUU Pilkada Batal generously go to our own website. Anies Baswedan said that he currently gives importance to issues related to the prosperity of Jakarta residents over other matters. “For us, the primary concern is the prosperity of Jakarta residents. It’s not about who will be the partner, that’s not the point, and the process is still long, just go with the flow,” Anies Baswedan said. Previously, the Chairman of the Central Board of PDI Perjuangan, Hidayat Djarot Saiful, assessed that there were signs that President Jokowi would intervene again in the 2024 local elections. Responding to Widodo’s plan to Distribute Aid Before Pilkada This was regarding President Joko Widodo’s intention to continue handing out welfare assistance in the form of rice until December. “We not only detect meddling but witness it plainly and openly, in Javanese it’s clear as day,” said Djarot Saiful Hidayat at the PDIP DPP Office, Jalan Diponegoro, Jakarta, on Thursday (16/5/2024). “Meaning, the intervention is very clear, very visible. It’s very apparent,” he added. Djarot stressed that the prolongation of welfare aid until December amounts to an misuse of authority. PDIP Requests Election Commission and Supervisory Body to Take Action Therefore, PDIP asked the Electoral Commission and the Electoral Supervisory Agency to investigate these signs. Hidayat wishes that the abuse of authority by President Widodo, which occurred during the 2024 Pilpres, will not be repeated in the 2024 Pilkada. “We really request the electoral authorities, to carefully oversee. Including the media and the youth. Especially since the aid will be extended until December,” he emphasized.

Additionally, Syaikhu stated that the party also considered feedback from various figures, scholars, religious leaders, cross-religious leaders, intellectuals, and the public in Jakarta. “The main considerations are candidates with good leadership experience in both executive and legislative positions, clear track records, credibility, and capacity, as well as a high probability of winning,” he said.

Earlier, Jakarta PAN Regional Chairman Eko Hendro Purnomo, or Eko Patrio, mentioned that his party would prioritize supporting the gubernatorial candidate endorsed by the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) for the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election. He noted that Jakarta residents have several candidate options, such as Sohibul Iman, Ridwan Kamil, and Anies Baswedan. Thus, he is awaiting guidance from KIM on which candidate to support.

KPU RI Chairman Hasyim Asy’ari, along with Secretary General Bernad Dermawan Sutrisno, and other members Idham Holik and Yulianto Sudrajat. Also present were representatives from the KPU of 38 provinces across Indonesia, along with officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Bawaslu, DKPP, and other related institutions.

Syaikhu mentioned that some people have already referred to this pair by the acronym AMAN. “We believe the Anies Sohibul Iman pair, some have already called them AMAN. Whatever, it’s up to you,” continued Syaikhu.

The announcement was made at the Party Leadership School (SKP) of the PKS Central Leadership Board (DPP) as a briefing for all elected DPR RI and provincial DPRD members throughout Indonesia at the Sahid Hotel, South Jakarta, Tuesday (25/6/2024). “The DPTP of PKS in the meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024, decided to nominate Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as the prospective gubernatorial candidate and Mr. Muhammad Sohibul Iman as the prospective vice-gubernatorial candidate, ready to fight for their victory?” said Syaikhu at the Sahid Hotel.

Gerindra Party Daily Chairman Sufmi Dasco Ahmad denied that the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) is considering the idea of nominating Anies Baswedan with PSI Chairman Kaesang Pangarep for the Jakarta Regional Election . Dasco emphasized that there has never been a discussion about the Anies-Kaesang pairing within the coalition . “That is not true, it has never been discussed,” said Dasco to reporters at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday (June 20, 2024) .

Furthermore, Syaikhu is confident that the Anies-Sohibul Iman pair is a good match. According to Syaikhu, they complement each other well for the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election. “There is already a nickname for them, AMAN (Anies-Sohibul Iman). Whatever the name, (Anies-Sohibul Iman) have strong qualifications, are compatible, and can complement each other in leading Jakarta,” said Syaikhu.
