Golkar’s leadership will nominate Sekar Tanjung, child of Akbar Tanjung, to compete in the Solo regional election.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chairperson Eriko Sotarduga mentioned that if they collaborate with PKB to support Anies Baswedan in the Jakarta Pilkada, their party would offer the East Java gubernatorial seat from PDIP. “For example, in Jakarta, if PKB becomes the gubernatorial candidate. Can PDIP become the gubernatorial candidate in East Java? It’s possible, not a barter, but that’s what cooperation is, we cannot cooperate selfishly, imposing our ego, as we cannot advance alone,” said Eriko at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 25, 2024.

One possibility is to back Anies Baswedan in the next election in late 2024. “Regarding our colleagues at PDIP, we are very receptive to working with PDIP and all parties, not just in DKI, but in various regions as well,” said Daniel Johan in Jakarta on June 8, 2024. On this occasion, PKB, along with the former governor of DKI Jakarta, already holds the same goals and objectives for the Jakarta Pilkada. Therefore, it’s just a matter of time before the party led by Iskandar Muhaimin, officially endorses A. Baswedan. “Anies Baswedan has already stated that with PKB, there’s no need for words; we’ve already fought together. So, the formal declaration is just a trivial technicality. The important thing is we are united in vision. Now, we just wait for the surprise announcement,” said Daniel. “As for the deputy, that’s up to the Pilkada committee to decide, developing everything to a team, including the deputy. We anticipate the Pilkada desk’s statement,” he finished.

**Mapping KIM’s Rivals** Habiburokhman mentioned that it is difficult to map out KIM’s rivals in Jakarta. He also questioned whether it is certain that there will be a party joining PKS. “So it’s difficult to map out, whether there will be another party joining or not,” said Habiburokhman. However, according to him, this is different with Gerindra, where they will try their best to cooperate with the parties in KIM to nominate Ridwan Kamil. “But for the Gerindra Party in Jakarta, we will try our best to build communication, especially with the KIM parties and also parties outside of it,” he explained. “We are intensifying this as the time gets closer, we cannot delay this, and a name must appear soon,” said Habiburokhman.

This was announced by Chairman of Golkar, Hartarto Airlangga, after observing Eid al-Adha prayers at the mosque of Golkar DPP, Monday. “In the Solo Pilkada, Akbar Tanjung’s daughter will be endorsed by the Golkar Party, Sekar Tanjung, who is also young,” Airlangga told reporters. S. Tanjung is currently the Chairwoman of the Solo Regional Leadership Council (DPD) of the Golkar Party. She is ready to compete in the Solo Pilkada to replace the eldest son of President Joko Widodo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who has been chosen as VP for the 2024-2029 term. Golkar is sure in putting forward Akbar Tanjung’s youngest child. During her career, Sekar was a journalist at ABC News in 2017. In 2019, she became part of the campaign team for Prabowo Subianto and Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno.

According to Huda, another PKS dilemma is immediately pairing Anies-Sohibul, which he views as a blunder. “The problem is that they immediately paired Mas Anies and Mas Sohibul Iman. In my view, it’s a blunder,” he noted. Huda mentioned that pairing Anies with Sohibul closes the door for other parties to join in supporting Anies. “This will close the door for other parties to partner and form a coalition,” he stated.

Head of Lingkar Madani (Lima), Ray Rangkuti, admitted surprise at PKS’s passive move. “I am surprised by PKS. They were very quick. Even before the banana leaf turned yellow, they had already reversed their policy,” stated Ray in a written statement on June 26, 2024. According to Ray, this move by PKS is a sign of PKS’s weakness in negotiation and lobbying. At least, PKS has lost the opportunity twice to place their cadre in the gubernatorial position. “PKS’s weakness is their negotiation and lobbying ability. In the Jakarta political scene, PKS has accepted negotiation defeats at least twice. First, when Mardani Ali Sera was dropped as a deputy gubernatorial candidate and when they lost the right to get the gubernatorial position when Sandiaga ran as a vice-presidential candidate,” explained Ray.

“The party leaders frequently meet, but I think in the near future, there will be more specific discussions,” said PAN Secretary General Eddy Soeparno at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on June 26, 2024. According to him, the sooner a decision is made on the candidate to be endorsed for the Jakarta Pilkada, the better. “Because the longer it takes, the closer it gets to the time we have to decide, and for us, deciding quickly is better because we have time to socialize the candidate pair,” said Eddy. He also hopes that the decision on the candidate pair from the political parties (parpol) of the Coalition for Indonesia’s Future (KIM) in Jakarta can be made in July. “Hopefully, if given a deadline, I think this is a process and political dialogue cannot be given a time limit, so we also want to propose a definitive name as soon as possible,” said Eddy.
