**Prepare Alternatives** The PKS Central Executive Board (DPP) nominated 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, 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 nominate 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 proposed their internal cadre,” he added.

Chairman of the Nahdliyin Journalists Forum (FJN), Muhammad Didi Rosadi, was pleased with the large number of young Nahdliyin figures whose names are included in the list of regional head candidates in East Java. He said that FJN, as an association of Nahdliyin journalists, has consistently supported young NU figures, including through the annual Inspiring Young Nahdliyin Figures appreciation event.

“The young NU generation that will compete in the Pilkada has a lot of potential to be elected. They are spread across various parties and professions. Many also have a pesantren background,” said Lasio.

The postgraduate alumnus from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) at Wijaya Kusuma University Surabaya (UWKS) considers that the emergence of young NU figures competing in the East Java Pilkada shows the success of cadre regeneration within NU.

**Anticipate Offers for PKS** Adi also sees this as PKS’s effort to anticipate offers from the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM), which is serious about nominating Ridwan Kamil for Jakarta. “At the same time, PKS is a political party highly sought after by other contestants to be their vice-candidate. For example, there was an offer from the KIM camp for PKS to be Ridwan Kamil’s running mate. In this context, PKS is deliberately nominating their cadre to anticipate serious offers to be Ridwan Kamil’s running mate,” he said.

Typically, the Pilkada is conducted twice, namely the regional implementation and the legal dispute process at the Constitutional Court (Mahkamah Konstitusi). “Usually, if the Pilkada is conducted twice, it means what? It means initially conducted locally, and then at the MK,” stated Hadi while giving guidance in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 concurrent Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on Wednesday. “That’s why the TNI-Polri must be vigilant about safeguarding during the actual Pilkada and during the MK sessions, ensuring the readiness of the TNI-Polri forces to secure the regions,” he continued. Hadi hopes the 2024 Pilkada stages will run without problems and securely without any obstacles in their conduct. Besides, post-Pilkada security should also be guaranteed. Hadi continued that political and legal stability is essential. He believes, the state and condition of Polhukam stability will greatly affect the Pilkada stages. “We concur that all components of the nation and state need to maintain political, legal, and security stability for the 2024 Pilkada,” he concluded. Anticipating Conflict Before the 2024 Pilkada Hadi Tjahjanto gave a special instruction to the TNI, Polri, and BIN for the safety of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada. Hadi urged that regions with potential conflicts must be anticipated before security disturbances arise. He said this while giving guidance in the Coordination Meeting of the 2024 Pilkada organizers in Makassar, South Sulawesi, on June 26th, 2024. “Particularly TNI, Polri, and BIN. BIN was also present, in the mapping of regions, must identify regions with potential conflicts to anticipate security issues before they occur,” said Hadi. “TNI, Polri, and BIN have to be alert, aware in advance, so that they can mitigate any possible issues,” he continued. Furthermore, Hadi called for synergy from local governments in facilitating the 2024 Pilkada organization. If local governments do not facilitate, the simultaneous Pilkada will inevitably be disrupted. “Therefore, total collaboration can ensure the successful implementation of the 2024 simultaneous Pilkada,” he stated. Hadi reminded local governments to take strategic steps, including avoiding overlaps between the central and local governments.
