**Sohibul Iman Ready to Run for Jakarta Governor** Deputy Chair of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Syuro Council Mohamad Sohibul Iman said he is ready to run as a gubernatorial candidate in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. Sohibul said he had been informed by the PKS DPP about the decision to nominate him as a gubernatorial candidate in the Jakarta Pilkada. However, he admitted he has no special preparation. "I have no special preparation, but as a party cadre, I must always be ready to accept any mandate," said Sohibul Iman when confirmed, quoted on Monday, June 24, 2024. According to Sohibul, the PKS DPP decision is a follow-up to the recommendation from the PKS DKI Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW). His name emerged from several other names also proposed by the PKS DKI Jakarta DPW, such as PKS DPP Chair Mardani Ali Sera, PKS DKI Chair Khoirudin, and former Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan. "This mandate is an aspiration (proposal, desire, and hope) from the DKI cadre and inspiration (thoughts, considerations, and decisions) from the Central Leadership," said Sohibul. Therefore, Sohibul Iman said he would accept the task given by PKS to run in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial race. "As a cadre, it is not appropriate for me to ignore the cadre's aspirations and the leadership's inspiration," stated Sohibul.

"If Mr. Ridwan Kamil runs in West Java, PKB will create its own alliance," said Huda at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday. Regarding the chance of forming a coalition with PDIP in West Java, Huda admitted that there has been no formal communication. However, PKB and PDIP have shared information. "No communication with Kang Ono. We have exchanged information but not yet reached the discussion stage about whether to meet or not. So it hasn't reached that point yet. PKB's priority for West Java is to announce a coalition first, not focus on the figure, so for now, the figure is not PKB West Java's focus," he said. However, he wishes that the coalition they build will have chemistry so that in the coming weeks it can be announced. "We will build a coalition with the same chemistry, we hope it can be announced in the coming weeks," he continued.
"Learning from the previous presidential election, I ask the regional governments to assist the KPU and Bawaslu, which lack offices, warehouses, and facilities for remote areas, such as in Maluku, North Maluku, and the islands. If there are difficulties, help as much as possible using existing funds, whether regular or emergency budgets (BTT)," said Tito Karnavian.
"All parties must synergize well between the regional government and vertical agencies in the region, especially the TNI-Polri, to achieve safe and smooth elections," said Bahtiar. Bahtiar also emphasized the importance of maintaining neutrality for all civil servants and encouraged public participation in monitoring the elections.
Adi Prayitno stated that the present conditions and situation are still very dynamic, considering that the Pilkada is still six months away. Therefore, it is natural for political leaders to still be discussing potential names to nominate. However, based on current survey data, there are only two major names. "Anies is still the strongest, closely followed by RK," he said, as quoted on Saturday (8/6/2024). Other names, although appearing in surveys, are still not competitive enough to compete with Anies Baswedan or RK. "If a name like Anies can participate, the only suitable opponent is RK. Other names are not yet competitive," Adi said.
The name Sohibul Iman was nominated 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.
