The Malang City Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu) held the first hearing for the dispute resolution application of the 2024 Malang City Pilkada filed by independent candidate pair Heri Cahyono – Muhammad Rizky Wahyu Utomo (Sam HC-Rizky).

**Reasons PKS Endorses Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman in Jakarta Pilkada 2024** The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) has formally nominated Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial (cagub) and deputy gubernatorial (cawagub) candidates in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu explained the reasons for endorsing Anies and Sohibul Iman for the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election. Anies Baswedan is considered a figure who made significant progress while leading DKI Jakarta. According to Syaikhu, Anies’ performance has made the residents of Jakarta happy. “Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan excelled as governor during the 2017-2022 period with various achievements in different sectors of development, advancing the city and satisfaction to its residents,” said Syaikhu at the Party Leadership School Opening at Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Sohibul Iman, according to Syaikhu, is a scholar. He mentioned that Sohibul also has an impressive track record in government. “Mr. Sohibul Iman is a technocrat and a scholar who has acted as the rector of Paramadina University. He has served in the legislature as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) from 2013-2014 and has been PKS President from 2015-2020,” clarified Syaikhu. Syaikhu said that PKS is a cadre party with the mandate to carry out cadre and leadership regeneration. Therefore, he said, in the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada, the party will endorse its cadres as candidates for regional heads. “Especially in areas where PKS is the winning party or has a majority of seats in the DPRD. PKS will strive to the utmost to nominate its own cadres as candidates,” said Syaikhu.

“This hearing focuses on the KPU’s decision declaring that the independent candidates did not meet the minimum support requirements,” stated Arifudin. The adjudication process at Bawaslu Malang City lasts a maximum of 12 working days from the start of the closed deliberation, and it is now on the fourth day. If on schedule, the decision will be read on 3 July.

“Because the regulations for regional elections and general elections are different. For general elections, each TPS has no more than 300 voters, while for regional elections, it can have up to 800 voters,” she explained.

Previously, PKS officially nominated Anies Baswedan and Sohibul Iman as prospective gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates for the 2024 DKI Jakarta Pilgub. This was announced by PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu in his speech at the Party Leadership School titled ‘Always Defending the People’ at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday. “The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) in its meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024, has decided to nominate Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as prospective gubernatorial and Mr. Sohibul Iman as prospective deputy gubernatorial candidates,” said Syaikhu. Syaikhu explained that the DPP PKS decision to nominate Anies and Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub was based on the proposal from the PKS DKI Jakarta Regional Executive Board (Dewan Pimpinan Wilayah). “I have received a letter from the DPW DKI Jakarta structure that has put forward the DKI gubernatorial candidate to the DPP PKS, followed by the DKI deputy gubernatorial candidate to the DPP PKS, which includes a request to approve and ratify Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Mr. Mohammad Sohibul Iman as cagub and deputy gubernatorial candidate for DKI,” stated Syaikhu.

Additionally, he mentioned that the party also considered various inputs from figures, clerics, religious leaders, cross-sect leaders, scholars, and the public in Jakarta. “The main aspects considered were candidates with good leadership experience in both the executive and legislative branches, a proven track record, credibility, capacity, and a high probability of winning,” he stated. Furthermore, Syaikhu believes that the Anies-Sohibul Iman pair is a good match. According to Syaikhu, they complement each other for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. “Some have already coined the acronym AMAN (Anies-Sohibul Iman). Whatever the name, Anies-Sohibul Iman has the qualifications to complement each other and lead DKI Jakarta,” stated Syaikhu.

Moreover, for the Jakarta Pilkada, they have not yet reported to the Chairman of PKB, Muhaimin Iskandar, also known as Cak Imin. “It is still at the Pilkada desk level, we have not reported to Cak Imin. For several Pilkada, including Jakarta, we have not yet reported to Cak Imin,” stated. Furthermore, Huda stated that the dynamics in the Jakarta Pilkada are still very fluid, even though PKS has already nominated Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman. “We must place everything, especially the Jakarta Pilkada, in a very fluid space. I can still say it hasn’t taken shape, not even with us. In KIM, the figures are still being pulled. This means the Jakarta Pilkada is still very fluid from all sides, from all camps. Including from the KIM camp,” he added.

The independent candidate pair was declared not meeting the requirements (TMS) in the 2024 Malang City Pilkada by the General Election Commission (Komisi Pemilihan Umum) based on the results of administrative verification. Bawaslu had mediated both parties, but no agreement was reached. Thus, an adjudication hearing was held, using a third party, in this case, Bawaslu Malang City, as the adjudicator. The first hearing was held on June 25, 2024, with the agenda being the reading of the petitioner’s request and the response from KPU as the respondent.
