Deputy Secretary General of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Syaiful Huda, said that the change in stance of PKS, which initially nominated Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial candidate (calon gubernur) and then changed to making him the deputy gubernatorial candidate (calon wakil gubernur) for Anies Baswedan, is a form of internal confusion within PKS.

According to Astri, the independent candidate pair Dharma Pongrekun and Kun Wardana submitted about 28% of their support documents through the candidate nomination application (Silon). The remaining documents were submitted in physical form and are currently being processed. “We will review these support documents,” stated Astri. Meanwhile, Jakarta KPU member Dody Wijaya stated that the pair uploaded around 160 thousand support documents through the Silon application and submitted around 690 thousand in physical form. “We are only counting the numbers. So later, the truth will be verified. This acceptance stage is only to see if the documents are there, complete or not,” Dody said. Dody said the Jakarta KPU will issue a receipt if the number meets the minimum requirement of 618,968 supports. This number complies with Jakarta KPU Decision No. 47 of 2024, which requires independent candidates to have the support of 7.5% of the total Permanent Voter List (DPT

Sudirman comprehends the DPP PKS decision to support an internal cadre. According to Sudirman, Sohibul Iman is the best cadre who has also led PKS. Sohibul, Wibi continued, has proven successful in increasing PKS’s votes in Jakarta and has navigated through difficult times. He successfully increased PKS’s seats in parliament from 40 seats in 2014 to 50 seats in the 2019 election period.

The decision to consider nominating the former presidential candidate as the gubernatorial candidate (calon gubernur) for Jakarta came after PDIP DPP Chairman Said Abdullah met with the Chairman of PKB, Muhaimin Iskandar alias Cak Imin, to discuss cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada. “The names that are already there, we will see later. All names are being considered,” said PDIP DPP Chairwoman Puan Maharani at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Should you have just about any issues relating to wherever and the best way to employ regulasi pilkada 2024 [https://www.merdeka.com], it is possible to email us on our own website. on June 25, 2024.

Additionally, Sudirman said Sohibul Iman also has extensive experience in politics. Sohibul Iman was elected three times as a member of the DPR in 2009-2014, 2014-2019, and 2024-2029 periods. He also served as Deputy Speaker of the DPR RI.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairman Said Abdullah revealed that he had visited Cak Imin’s residence to discuss cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada. Said mentioned that PKB is already set on nominating Anies Baswedan for the Jakarta gubernatorial election. “We went to the PKB Chairman’s house, I remember it was after Friday prayers on May 30 before departing for Mecca. We had a heart-to-heart talk, as communication is definitely built among the elites, sharing views and perspectives,” said Said.

KPU RI Chairman Hasyim Asy’ari said that the Information Recapitulation System (Sirekap), claimed to be a vote counting aid during the 2024 Election, will be used again for the 2024 Regional Elections. Since the election and regional election models differ, a new design is being developed. “Sirekap is planned to be used for the 2024 Regional Elections because it was first used in the 2020 Regional Elections. The design and other aspects are being prepared,” said Hasyim at the DPR RI, quoted on Thursday (16/5/2024).

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairman Eriko Sotarduga revealed that if his party cooperates with PKB to nominate Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta Pilkada, his party would offer the gubernatorial seat in East Java to PDIP. “For example, if in Jakarta PKB becomes the gubernatorial candidate. Is it okay if in East Java PDIP becomes the gubernatorial candidate? It’s not a barter, but that’s what cooperation is, we cannot work alone, we cannot be egotistical because we cannot progress alone,” said Eriko at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 25, 2024.

Betty also emphasized that Sirekap for the 2024 Regional Elections will be improved and easier to use, considering that the number of ballots prepared will not be as many as in the 2024 Legislative Elections. “The number of candidates for the regional elections is not as many as for the legislative elections, for instance, for governor and deputy governor, and simultaneously for mayor or regent and their deputies,” explained Betty.

Sudirman mentioned two important requirements that Sohibul Iman can fulfill to lead Jakarta. First, Sohibul is considered likely to focus on managing the residents. “Second, he will easily establish cooperation with the future government due to his flexibility in political interactions so far,” said Sudirman.

Hasyim assured that if the Sirekap model for the 2024 Regional Elections is ready, it will be presented to the relevant commission in the DPR RI. “When it’s ready, we will report it in the hearing session with Commission II of the DPR,” said Hasyim.

“His leadership capacity is also proven. If an understanding of field issues is needed, friends and cadres in the PKS faction in the DKI DPRD will be good sources and inputs, given their daily tasks in legislation, budgeting, and oversight in Jakarta Province,” said Sudirman in a written statement, as quoted on Tuesday (25/6/2024).
