Ex-Governor of DKI Jakarta for the years 2017-2022, Baswedan Anies, reacted to accusations that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) will be involved again in the 2024 Jakarta elections.

Previously, Deputy Chairman of the Gerindra Party, Habiburokhman, assessed that the Anies-Muhaimin candidate pair nominated 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,” stated Habiburokhman at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 26, 2024.

PKS Ready to Compete with Ridwan Kamil in Jakarta Pilkada Meanwhile, potential vice gubernatorial candidate (candidate) from the Prosperous Justice Party (Partai Keadilan Sejahtera), Mr. Iman, stated that it is not an issue if the Golkar Party nominates Ridwan Kamil (RK) for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. He is also confident about facing RK in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. “No issue, in a contest (regional elections) there is no need to be afraid. Let’s just compete,” said Sohibul Iman when met during the Opening of the PKS Leadership School at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on June 25, 2024. Sohibul has officially been paired by PKS with the former Jakarta Governor for the 2017-2022 period, Mr. Baswedan. Anies has been put forward as the potential gubernatorial candidate (candidate) for Jakarta in 2024.

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 propose Anies Baswedan. Added to that, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), which is interested in nominating 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 propose 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. “However, this possibility is very small if Kaesang Pangarep runs in the Jakarta Pilgub. KIM would certainly prefer Kaesang over Sohibul Iman as Ridwan Kamil’s running mate,” Jamil continued. 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,” said 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.

Similarly, political analyst from UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, Adi Prayitno, sees PKS’s move to bring up the name Sohibul Iman as a political bargaining chip for anyone wanting to form a coalition in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. According to Adi, PKS wants to increase its bargaining position because it is the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta. Additionally, the solid voter base and constituency make PKS confident in nominating its own cadre. “In this context, PKS seems to be sending a strong signal to those wanting to form a coalition, including Anies Baswedan, that it is essential to include Sohibul Iman as a running mate,” stated Adi Prayitno to Liputan6.com on Monday, June 24, 2024. “Or, if Ridwan Kamil from KIM is interested in making PKS a coalition partner, then Sohibul Iman must be his running mate,” Adi added.

According to Sohibul, he and Anies are ready to fight fairly in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. Including, he stated, if they have to compete against the former West Java Governor (Jabar) Ridwan Kamil (RK). “God willing, we are ready to compete fairly,” he said.

Sohibul believes that whoever nominee for gubernatorial and vice-gubernatorial posts nominated by political parties (parpol) aims for the betterment of Jakarta. “Whoever wins is ultimately for the people of Jakarta, for the betterment of Jakarta’s people, so there is no problem if the people of Jakarta believe in us, we will lead, and if they don’t, there is no problem,” stated the former PKS President.

**PKS Officially Nominates Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada** Previously, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) officially nominated 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.

This is why he has not yet put up campaign tools such as billboards on the streets. According to him, if he had intentions to contest for DKI Jakarta governor, banners promoting him would already be scattered on the streets. “If I had indications for Jakarta, there would probably be banners, declarations, but not yet,” he said, as quoted by Antara.
