Thus, PKS requests that its cadre be Anies’s deputy if the PKS DPP supports Anies. “For example, if Mr. Anies is the gubernatorial candidate from PKS, and he is also proposed by other parties, making him a cross-party candidate, then it is only fair that PKS nominates the deputy governor from PKS,” stated HNW during an interview at the PKS DPP office, Jakarta, on June 18, 2024. He clarified the strong reason for the party’s request for the deputy gubernatorial seat. “In the previous period, PKS supported Mr. Anies as the gubernatorial candidate, but the deputy was not from PKS. It is only fair now that PKS gets the deputy position. Once again, PKS is very capable of providing a competent deputy governor,” he emphasized.

Additionally, he mentioned that his party also listened to various inputs from figures, clerics, habaib, interfaith leaders, religious leaders, intellectuals, and the people of Jakarta. “The main considerations are candidates who have good leadership experience in both the executive and legislative branches, a proven track record, high credibility, capacity, and a high probability of winning,” he said.

PKS is open to forming a coalition with the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) after officially nominating Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial and vice-gubernatorial candidates for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. “Yes, it is very possible (to form a coalition with PDIP),” said Syaikhu at the opening of the Party Leadership School at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, Tuesday (25/6/2024).
