PKS Spokesperson Mr. Sopian said that his party prefers having two coalitions for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.

For reference, KPU Decision No. 360 of 2024 concerns the determination of the outcomes of the Presidential and Vice-Presidential elections, and the election of members of the DPR, DPD, Provincial DPRD, and Regency/Municipal DPRD at the national level in the 2024 General Election

The name Sohibul Iman was proposed because he is considered a figure with adequate capacity. He led PKS during the 2015-2020 period. Under his leadership, PKS saw an increase in votes and seats in the DPR RI. Sohibul was elected three times as a member of the DPR RI and has also served as Deputy Speaker of the DPR RI, and as Vice Rector of Paramadina University. He is also known as a technocrat and a Muslim scholar. “This means he has proven leadership in elevating PKS. He also has a long track record in politics,” stated Mabruri.

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 Tuesday.

**Former Anies Spokesperson Praises Sohibul Iman, Criticizes Jakarta Pilkada as Stepping Stone to 2029 Presidential Election** Former Co-Captain of the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN) Winning Team, Sudirman Said, supports the PKS DPP’s decision to nominate Sohibul Iman as the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial candidate. Sohibul Iman’s capacity and integrity are proven, so there is no doubt about his ability to lead Jakarta in the future. “Certainly, friends and cadres in the PKS Faction in the DKI DPRD will be good sources and provide good input, given their daily legislative, budgetary, and oversight duties in Jakarta Province,” stated Sudirman, as quoted by Antara, on Monday, June 24, 2024. According to the former Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Sohibul Iman has a wide network among professionals and businesspeople. Therefore, he believes Sohibul will quickly receive the necessary input. Additionally, Sudirman Said believes that Sohibul is the right person to lead Jakarta because he will work with focus. So far, Sudirman has not seen any aspirations for Sohibul to advance to a higher political competition, such as the presidential election. Sudirman also reminds the public to choose gubernatorial candidates who genuinely want to manage Jakarta towards becoming a global city while addressing its complex problems. “I see Jakarta in an important transformation process. The next Jakarta governor must be 100 percent focused. Do not make Jakarta merely a political stage, especially a stepping stone to the 2029 presidential election,” said the former spokesperson for Anies Baswedan.

This was conveyed by Anies in response to the statement from PPP politician and Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) RI, Sandiaga Uno, regarding the proposal to promote sustainability in Jakarta .

**PKB: We Want to Build Jakarta with PDIP** The National Awakening Party (PKB) expressed a desire to work together with the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) to build Jakarta. PKB Secretary-General Hasanuddin Wahid stated that PKB cadres and grassroots are pushing for Anies Baswedan to run in the Jakarta Pilkada. According to him, the decision would be even more effective if PDIP joins in supporting Anies. “Basically, we want to build Jakarta together, and PDIP also joins in,” said Hasanuddin Wahid to reporters on Tuesday. Hasanuddin mentioned that if PDIP joins PKB and PKS in supporting Anies, it would be even better and increase the chances of winning. “We are happy, the more support for Mas Anies, the better,” he said.

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 proposing 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,” said Adi Prayitno to Liputan6.com on Monday, In case you loved this article and you would want to receive more information about Pilkada Jakarta: Mengenal Modal Politik Jusuf Hamka generously go to our own internet site. 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 continued.

**PKS Does Not Want to Be Just a Ronin** Political analyst Adi Prayitno believes that PKS’s decision to propose its cadre is understandable, given that in the 2017 Jakarta Pilkada, PKS could only nominate candidates from other parties. “Even the deputy gubernatorial position left by Sandiaga Uno, which should have been PKS’s share, was also willingly given to Gerindra,” said Adi. Therefore, Adi believes that in this Jakarta Pilkada, PKS does not want to continue being a supporter of other parties’ cadres. PKS wants to be a deciding party. Especially with the label as the winner of the legislative elections in Jakarta. “As the winning party in the legislative elections, PKS certainly does not want to continue being a ronin. PKS does not want to be merely political firewood for nominating candidates, but to have a PKS cadre as governor or deputy governor,” said Adi. “This time, PKS wants to appear as a leader candidate. As the main actor in winning, and as a figure who can secure Jakarta 1 or Jakarta 2. That’s the point,” said Adi.
