As a party that secured ten seats in the 2019 polls and an additional seat in the 2024 polls, PKS has a solid base and can propose a single pair of candidates for the mayoral office. Moreover, the Chairman of the PKS City of Bogor DPD, Atang Trisnanto, has been put forward as a candidate for mayor in the 2024 local election. "Of course, PKS has the capital and strong position to choose the mayoral candidate. Just wait, we are expecting guidance from the DPP. (Regarding my name being mentioned), yes, it has surfaced, thank you for the support. We are certainly waiting for direction from the DPP. Whatever duty is assigned, we are ready, I must be ready," said Atang on March 24, 2024.
"It could be (Bambang Pacul), maybe (Ahmad Luthfi)," she stated to reporters at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday. However, Puan was hesitant to mention the name that PDIP will nominate. She noted that the current names, including Bambang Pacul and Ahmad Luthfi, are very interesting. "All the names that are emerging are being considered, all are interesting," she stated.
Previously, PDIP DPP Chairperson Eriko Sotarduga said 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 June 25, 2024.
Conclusion
The historic success of Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka in the 2024 presidential political election marks the start of a brand-new phase in Indonesia's democratic trip. With a record-breaking mandate from the people, the duo has an one-of-a-kind possibility to lead Indonesia in the direction of a future defined by unity, prosperity, and justice. As the nation moves on, the spirit of "Merdeka" and the aspiration for a modern Indonesia will certainly assist their course.
Moreover, the decision to nominate Anies-Iman is primarily a result of public criticism suggesting that nominating Sohibul Iman was not a strategic move. "The name Sohibul Iman clearly lacks appeal in Jakarta. This situation gave Anies's supporters within PKS the opportunity to push for the Anies-Iman pair," he stated. Thus, Ray believes there were no external circumstances compelling PKS to hastily declare Anies-Iman. The declaration of Anies-Iman does not benefit Anies's position at all. "Pairing Anies-Iman is like pairing two brothers. Anies's voters are PKS supporters. PKS supporters' idol is Anies. So, there is no added value for this pair. They are just circling within their own inner circle," explained Ray. This situation, Ray said, provides a fresh opportunity for other candidates who can accommodate Jakarta's pluralism to confidently enter the Jakarta Pilkada. "Anies needs another figure who strengthens his identity beyond just one circle. The face of Jakarta is plural. Candidates should accommodate Jakarta's pluralistic face in their pair selection. Broadening, not narrowing. Opening up, not closing down. Therefore, this situation provides a fresh breeze for other candidates to confidently enter Jakarta," Ray concluded.
On the other hand, with Sohibul Iman running, Adi also noted that PKS might be aiming to partner with Anies Baswedan. "At the same time, PKS is certainly preparing Sohibul Iman to potentially partner with Anies Baswedan. PKS is quite closely associated with Anies Baswedan. This seems to be PKS's goal, not to lose momentum as the winner of the 2024 legislative elections in Jakarta and to ensure their cadre is proposed either as governor or deputy governor," he stated.
This announcement was made by PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu in his speech at the Party Leadership School titled 'Continuing to Defend the People' at the Grand Sahid Hotel, Central Jakarta, on June 25, 2024. "The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) in its meeting on Thursday, June 20, 2024, has decided to endorse Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan as the prospective governor and Mr. Sohibul Iman as the prospective deputy governor," said Syaikhu. He explained that the decision by the PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) to endorse Anies and Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilgub was based on the proposal from the PKS DKI Jakarta Regional Executive Board (DPW). "I have received a letter from the DPW DKI Jakarta structure that has proposed the DKI gubernatorial candidate to the DPP PKS, followed by the DKI deputy gubernatorial candidate to the DPP PKS, requesting approval and establishment of Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan and Mr. Mohammad Sohibul Iman as the gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates," stated Syaikhu.
**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, If you loved this posting and you would like to receive additional info regarding
Andrew Kaczynski controversy kindly stop by the website. 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 said to Liputan6.com on Monday. "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 continued.
