**PKS Invites NasDem and PKB to Support Anies-Sohibul Iman Pair** Ahmad Syaikhu will invite other political parties (parties) to support the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. According to Syaikhu, his party still lacks the seats needed to nominate gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates in the Jakarta Pilkada. “Therefore, we have already communicated with our coalition from the previous presidential election,” stated Syaikhu.

In the 2024 presidential election, PKS joined a coalition with the NasDem Party and the National Awakening Party (Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa) to nominate the number one pair Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMIN). According to Syaikhu, he has communicated with NasDem Party Chairman Surya Paloh. Syaikhu said that Surya Paloh welcomed the Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman pair positively. “Alhamdulillah, Mr. Surya Paloh also gave a positive signal for this nomination,” explained Syaikhu. Communication, Syaikhu continued, will soon be continued to other political parties, including with PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin). “He (Cak Imin) is on a flight, so Insyaallah, we will communicate after this. We will talk and visit PKB too, hopefully we can unite in nominating leadership in DKI Jakarta,” said Syaikhu.

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 said. 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 closed.

In the meeting, Said mentioned that PKB has a strong chance of nominating Anies for the Jakarta gubernatorial election. “If PKB, as far as I know, if I heard correctly, God willing, Anies Rasyid Baswedan,” he said. Said revealed that the results of the meeting with Cak Imin have been reported to PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto and PDIP DPP Chairwoman Puan Maharani. He also stated that he would report the view to PDIP Chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri. “It’s not certain with PDIP, we share views, not seeking agreements. My task is to report to Ms. Puan, to Mr. Secretary General,” said Said. “There might be meetings with the Chairwoman later, discussing the results of every lobby or friendly meeting among the elites,” he added.

The social service and free medical treatment conducted by Polda Banten and all the police precincts in its jurisdiction during the 78th Bhayangkara Anniversary are also an opportunity to implement a cooling system and encourage the community to maintain order until the 2024 Pilkada process is completed. “So before we face the regional elections, we must be able to communicate with the community through social activities, so that the community can truly anticipate and understand the potential vulnerabilities,” he clarified.

“Now for the 2024 regional elections, we will prepare for a maximum of 600 voters per TPS, considering not to merge villages/sub-districts, ensuring the ease of voters reaching the TPS, not separating voters within a family at different TPS, and local geographical aspects,” said KPU Chairman Hasyim Asy’ari at the Parliament Building in Senayan, Jakarta (15/5/2024).

Director of Lingkar Madani (Lima), Ray Rangkuti, expressed surprise at PKS’s resigned move. “I am surprised by PKS. They were very quick. Even before the banana leaf turned yellow, they had already reversed their policy,” stated Ray in a written statement on Wednesday. According to Ray, this move by PKS is a sign of PKS’s weakness in negotiation and lobbying. At least, PKS has lost the opportunity twice to place their cadre in the gubernatorial position. “PKS’s weakness is their negotiation and lobbying ability. In the Jakarta political scene, PKS has accepted negotiation defeats at least twice. First, when Mardani Ali Sera was dropped as a deputy gubernatorial candidate and when they lost the right to get the gubernatorial position when Sandiaga ran as a vice-presidential candidate,” clarified Ray.

**Reasons PKS Nominated Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada** The Prosperous Justice Party (Partai Keadilan Sejahtera) formally nominated Anies Baswedan-Sohibul Iman as the cagub and deputy gubernatorial candidates for the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada. PKS President Ahmad Syaikhu revealed the reasons for endorsing Anies and Sohibul Iman for the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election. Anies Baswedan is considered a figure who achieved significant progress while leading DKI Jakarta. According to Syaikhu, Anies’s performance has brought happiness to the residents of Jakarta. “Mr. Anies Rasyid Baswedan succeeded as governor during the 2017-2022 period with various accomplishments in different sectors of development, improving the city and bringing happiness to its residents,” stated 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 experience in the legislature as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) from 2013-2014 and has been PKS President from 2015-2020,” explained 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 nominate 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 endeavor to the utmost to nominate its own cadres as candidates,” said Syaikhu.
