The Deputy Secretary General of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Syaiful Huda, considers the decision by PKS to pair Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman as very dangerous and likely to close the door for other political parties (parpol) interested in supporting Anies in the 2024 Jakarta Regional Elections.

He explained that the PKS Central Executive Board’s decision to endorse Anies and Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election was based on recommendations from the PKS Regional Executive Board (DPW) of Jakarta. “I received a letter from the DPW Jakarta structure that had proposed the gubernatorial candidate to the PKS DPP, followed by the deputy gubernatorial candidate to the PKS DPP. The letter asked for approval and endorsement of Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Mr. Mohammad Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates for Jakarta,” said Syaikhu.

The announcement was made at the Party Leadership School (SKP) of the PKS Central Leadership Board (DPP) as a briefing for all elected DPR RI and provincial DPRD members throughout Indonesia at the Sahid Hotel, South Jakarta, Tuesday (25/6/2024). “The DPTP of PKS in the meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024, decided to nominate Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as the prospective gubernatorial candidate and Mr. Muhammad Sohibul Iman as the prospective vice-gubernatorial candidate, ready to fight for their victory?” said Syaikhu at the Sahid Hotel.

In preparation for the 2024 Election, the General Election Commission (KPU) estimates the need for 5,742,127 KPPS members, who will be spread across 820,161 polling stations (TPS) throughout Indonesia. Additionally, 12,765 Indonesian citizens abroad will also be recruited as KPPS members in 128 countries.

Huda reminded that the Jakarta Regional Election is very fluid and nothing is fixed, including PKS as the winner of the Jakarta Election but unable to nominate candidates independently. “Nominating two figures as governor and deputy governor candidates requires a party that already has a golden ticket, which means 20 percent,” he said. “We know that PKS won the recent legislative elections. However, they haven’t reached 20 percent because they only have 18 seats, while 20 percent requires 22 seats,” concluded Huda.

Numerous Candidates Furthermore, the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform (Menpan-RB), A. Azwar Anas, is also viewed as a potential East Java gubernatorial candidate. “Then who else, Minister Abdullah Azwar Anas, former Banyuwangi Regent. If he can in Jakarta, why not in East Java?” said Sotarduga. As for the deputy gubernatorial position, E. Sotarduga said that PDIP also has many members. They include Vice Chair of PDIP DPD Jatim Budi Kanang Sulistyono and Regent of Kediri Hanindhito Himawan Pramana. “For the vice-governor candidate in East Java, there are even more. There’s Mas Kanang, Mas Dito. Many more regents or mayors there,” he added.

If this materializes, the two parties will arrange a contender for the Khofifah Indar Parawansa-Emil Dardak pair. “Perhaps we can work together with PKB in East Java, right,” Eriko told reporters at the Senayan complex, Jakarta, Monday (10/6/2024). He was hopeful about the strength of PDIP and Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa in Jatim, as both parties have many DPRD seats. “The winner in East Java now is PKB, and in the last period, we were the winners. So, if the current period’s winner and the last period’s winner join forces, why not?” he said.

**Prepare Alternatives** The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) proposed PKS Deputy Chair of the Syuro Council Mohamad Sohibul Iman as a prospective gubernatorial candidate for the Special Capital Region of Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada. Regarding this, political analyst Adi Prayitno sees this as a reasonable move. He noted that in addition to being a cadre party, PKS also has high voter support in Jakarta. “I think it is quite rational for PKS to propose their internal cadre, Sohibul Iman, to run in the Jakarta Pilgub. There are two reasons: first, PKS is a cadre party that has always put forward its cadres to compete in Pilkada, not only in Jakarta but also in other regions,” he stated to Liputan6.com on June 24, 2024. “The second reason is the significant increase in PKS’s legislative vote count in 2024, making them the highest vote-winner in Jakarta. These two variables explain why PKS nominated their internal cadre,” he added.

Previously, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) officially endorsed Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman as prospective governor (cagub) and deputy governor (cawagub) candidates for the 2024 Jakarta Regional Election.

The voter data updating system for this simultaneous regional election is different from the previous election. In the previous election, voter data came from local governments and the Ministry of Home Affairs, while this year’s regional elections data only came from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Director General of Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil) Irman stated that in updating voter data for the simultaneous regional elections starting at the end of 2015, a one-door system is used. If you have any issues relating to where by and how to use polda banten antisipasi terorisme pilkada serentak 2024 (www.liputan6.com), you can make contact with us at our own web-site. This ensures that there are no duplicate voter data. “The guarantee is that we manage the population database with an online system. Therefore, duplicate data, God willing, will no longer exist,” said Irman after the handover of the Potential Voter Population Data (DP4) at the Ministry of Home Affairs building in Jakarta, Wednesday, June 3, 2015.
