Ex-Governor of Jakarta Anies Baswedan responded positively to the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS)’s official nomination of him as a prospective gubernatorial candidate for the 2024 Jakarta regional elections.

**Puan Says PDIP Considers Nominating Anies Baswedan in Jakarta Pilkada** The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) is considering the name Anies Baswedan to be nominated in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The decision to consider nominating the former presidential candidate as Jakarta’s gubernatorial candidate came after PDIP DPP Chairperson Said Abdullah met with PKB General Chair Muhaimin Iskandar, also known as Cak Imin, to discuss cooperation in the Jakarta Pilkada. “The existing names will be reviewed later. All names are considered,” said PDIP DPP Chairperson Puan Maharani at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 25, 2024. Besides the Jakarta Pilkada, Puan also admitted they are considering figures for the East Java Pilkada. “We communicate all names and also try to simulate them because each region has its own peculiarities. So all names need to be considered,” she said.

n”We all must always be ready to establish synergy and cooperation with media colleagues in creating a conducive climate ahead of this simultaneous Pilkada, helping the public to obtain information wisely, balanced, and responsibly,” said Kartiko

**PKS Invites NasDem and PKB to Support Anies-Sohibul Iman Pair** Ahmad Syaikhu will invite other political parties (parpol) to support the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. According to Syaikhu, his party still lacks the seats needed to register gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates in the Jakarta Pilkada. “Therefore, we have already communicated with our coalition from the previous presidential election,” stated Syaikhu. In the 2024 presidential election, PKS joined a coalition with the NasDem Party and the National Awakening Party (Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa) to nominate the number one pair Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN). According to Syaikhu, he has communicated with NasDem Party Chairman Surya Paloh. Syaikhu said that Surya Paloh welcomed the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair positively. “Alhamdulillah, Mr. Surya Paloh also gave a positive signal for this nomination,” stated Syaikhu. Communication, Syaikhu continued, will soon be continued to other political parties, including with PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin). “He (Cak Imin) is on a flight, so God willing, we will talk after this. We will talk and meet PKB too, hopefully we can unite in nominating leadership in DKI Jakarta,” said Syaikhu.

“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.

Moreover, the decision to nominate Anies-Iman is primarily a result of public criticism suggesting that nominating Sohibul Iman was not a strategic move. “The name Sohibul Iman clearly lacks appeal in Jakarta. This situation gave Anies’s supporters within PKS the opportunity to push for the Anies-Iman pair,” he said. Thus, Ray believes there were no external circumstances compelling PKS to hastily declare Anies-Iman. The declaration of Anies-Iman does not benefit Anies’s position at all. “Pairing Anies-Iman is like pairing two brothers. Anies’s voters are PKS supporters. PKS supporters’ idol is Anies. So, there is no added value for this pair. They are just circling within their own inner circle,” explained Ray. This situation, Ray said, provides a fresh opportunity for other candidates who can accommodate Jakarta’s pluralism to confidently enter the Jakarta Pilkada. “Anies needs another figure who strengthens his identity beyond just one circle. The face of Jakarta is plural. Candidates should accommodate Jakarta’s pluralistic face in their pair selection. Broadening, not narrowing. Opening up, not closing down. Therefore, this situation provides a fresh breeze for other candidates to confidently enter Jakarta,” Ray closed.

Anies, who is currently abroad, shared his gratitude through a post on his personal Instagram page @aniesbaswedan on June 26, 2024. “I am currently traveling, so please allow me to share this recording to express my gratitude and appreciation for PKS’s decision today as announced by Mr. PKS President,” stated Anies. Anies said that he will discuss with PKS leaders to talk about further steps and follow-up actions for the Jakarta gubernatorial election (Pilgub) once he returns to the homeland. “The same goes for the other party leaders. We have struggled together in Jakarta as well as at the national level with PKS, God willing, we will continue to fight together in the future,” said Anies. Anies believes that besides PKB and PKS, other political parties (parpol) will also support his run in the Jakarta Pilkada. He is determined to return Jakarta to a developed city. “Praise be to God, after PKB and PKS, God willing, other parties will also fight together to return Jakarta to a developed city with content citizens. Greetings to the entire PKS family,” stated Anies. It is known that Anies is currently on vacation in Spain when PKS officially announced his nomination for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. The moment in Spain was seen from Anies’s social media post showing him visiting the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, the capital of Spain. Anies is scheduled to be abroad for two weeks.
